The Guilford Nonprofit Consortium is composed of nonprofit organizations and agencies throughout Guilford County, North Carolina. Our purpose is to connect the citizens of the County to the nonprofit community and to share resources and support among our members.

Nonprofit Management Institute

The Nonprofit Management Institute is an educational and training program designed to meet the professional development needs of local nonprofit professionals and maximize their impact in serving our community. Participants in this six-month program will focus on specific topics in nonprofit management and organizational development, which may be put to immediate use. These practical skills are designed to help participants enhance the capacity of their organizations.

The Institute is made possible through a collaborative effort of the Hayden-Harman Foundation, High Point University, and the Guilford Nonprofit Consortium. The Institute will be hosted and facilitated by High Point University (HPU) and the Guilford Nonprofit Consortium. The Department of Human Relations, Sociology and Nonprofit Studies at HPU will provide a participatory hands-on training and development curriculum that will be utilized as the primary resource for the participants’ professional development experience.

Classes will be taught by Pamela Palmer, professor of nonprofit leadership and management at High Point, at the university's state-of-the-art facilities. Total class hours for the program will be almost 50. Participants can use up to 30 hours of this course work for credit, that can be applied toward the Duke Nonprofit Management Certificate* offered by Duke University Continuing Studies.

Restoration Place Ministries, Inc.
Restoration Place Ministries, Inc. has a twofold purpose: (1) providing significantly lower-cost counseling services to women who would not otherwise be able to afford the help they need and (2) providing gender-specific biblical counseling for women in Guilford County who are suffering from depression and other related mental illnesses (i.e. anxiety disorders, eating disorders, self-image issues, addiction, abuse, etc.). Counselors at RPM utilize a faith-based, biblical approach in helping a person to become fully developed in all aspects of life. It is important to understand that all counseling is values-based, and there are many values options available, such as secular, humanist, New Age, and the like. Although RPM counselors work solely from a biblical worldview, no organized religious denomination is imposed on a client by any staff member, nor is anyone denied service based on her religious beliefs.
