Non Profit Administration

You’ll develop the leadership and strategic skills needed to manage and support nonprofit organizations. This course equips you to implement sustainable fundraising, oversee programs, and navigate the sector’s unique challenges—making a meaningful impact on communities and causes.

Overview

Nonprofit Administration studies examine how organizations create social impact and serve communities through effective leadership and management. At Lisburn University, we explore how nonprofits operate, from fundraising and program development to advocacy and financial stewardship, shaping positive change in both local and global contexts.

One day in class, your professor might present a case study on a successful nonprofit initiative. You and your classmates analyze, critique, and discuss its strategy, funding model, and community impact. Then, you design your own nonprofit project, applying leadership, fundraising, and operational techniques to address real-world challenges.
