United Way of the Coastal Empire (UWCE) is proud to the second Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) Nonprofit Leadership Symposium. This robust, Executive cohort-based nonprofit executive leadership development program will offer free, virtual participatory training on infrastructure and capacity-building topics such as sustainability strategies, marketing, grant writing, budgeting and fiscal management, and more.

While UWCE Community Investments offers capacity building, leadership development, and skills development programs and brings experts to speak to current events as needs arise all year long for all nonprofit organization's region-wide, a unique need has been expressed and identified by local BIPOC leaders. Together with these volunteers, UWCE is advancing this initiative for Executive Directors, senior, and middle managers. UWCE is proud to support BIPOC-led nonprofits and encourages eligible leaders to apply by the deadline on Monday, August 21, 2023

Details and Eligibility:

This completely remote training cohort will provide leaders with adaptive, flexible, and integrated peer support through networking, participatory training, facilitated discussion, one-on-one coaching, and access to critical tools and resources.

UWCE is advancing this initiative for executive directors, senior, and middle managers. To be considered for the Symposium, nonprofit organizations must have a physical presence in at least one of our four-county service areas: Bryan, Chatham, Effingham, or Liberty.

The 8-week program is scheduled to begin, with an Orientation in September 2023. Virtual classes will be held Wednesday evenings, once a week from 6 to 7:30pm via Zoom.
