Nonprofit Board Fellows Program Manual for MBAs
The Allwin Initiative has collaborated with five top business schools to produce a manual designed to increase the number of MBA students on nonprofit boards. Board Fellows programs provide nonprofits with access to the expertise and enthusiasm of MBA students. The manual describes established successful programs, analyzes current models, identifies best practices, and offers guidance for matching strategies to an individual school’s needs and circumstances. It was designed to be used in a number of ways, for example, by a business school with an existing Board Fellows program, by a school that is considering starting a program, or by students as they develop a proposal for a new program. The manual might be used by nonprofit boards of directors or executive directors so they can propose this idea to business schools in their areas. A pdf of the manual is available for free download.
