990s, boards, and Twin Cities philanthropy—not a grant from a foundation you do not have.
Online or on campus
Twin Cities philanthropy is real and crowded; Greater Minnesota nonprofits run on thinner staff. This degree starts with governance, restricted revenue, and the ethics of overhead, not with a gala aesthetic. You will map a programme to a budget that includes heat and mileage, write a grant narrative that does not lie about capacity, and brief a volunteer board that meets after a snow day. Dual-pathway study fits unpaid overtime culture without endorsing it; the curriculum names burnout as an operations fact. Applicants state primary mode. English-medium waiver includes U.S. regionally accredited bachelor's. Campus board-simulation sessions, if held, produce the same packet artefact online students submit. You will cost heat, mileage, and winter service as real overhead, not as a shameful line. Faculty will fail capstones that paste another foundation’s logo or that imply CFRE or CPA automatic status. Twin Cities philanthropy and Greater Minnesota thin-staff shops are both in the case set. Restricted revenue stories that lie about capacity will be marked down. Public copy will not display donor marks Crownshire has not been granted. The award is academic. It is not CFRE automatic, not a CPA, not a promise of foundation employment. Marketing must not display other organisations’ logos. MSc Nonprofit and Foundation Management (Minnesota) is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 18 months, and the credit total is 36. Students move from U.S. Nonprofit Forms and Minnesota Practice through U.S. Nonprofit Forms and Minnesota Practice; 990 Literacy for Managers; Restricted Revenue, Overhead, and Honesty; Volunteer Boards, Packets, and Minutes; Conflicts, Family Enterprises, and Founder Risk; Advocacy Literacy (Not a Lobbying Licence), and finish on Dual-Pathway Nonprofit Leadership Assessment. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students diagnose one organisation and carry a decision through to a recommendation. Reading is a case, a short financial extract, and a stakeholder note. The artefact a marker expects is a consulting brief a manager could use. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Read 990s and board packets as management tools Design programmes that include Midwest operating costs Brief volunteer boards without folklore Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
Thirty-six credits: nonprofit finance and law literacy (academic), Minnesota civic sector, programme operations, and a management capstone. Three-credit courses. Identity-checked assessment.
