Courses are offered during the spring and fall semesters with a limited number of classes offered each summer. Class schedules are usually available a few weeks prior to the start of the semester.

All classes are two days long from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Nonprofit Learning Point (formerly Especially for Nonprofit Organizations) no longer offers refunds unless a class is canceled. If you are unable to attend a class, someone from your organization is welcome to take your seat if you notify the office at least 48 hours before the class starts. We do not offer credits in exchange for a refund.

Mail the registration form with a check for $45 per class, payable to VCU - DCE, to:
Nonprofit Learning Point
P.O. Box 843062
Richmond, VA 23284-3062

The check must be attached to the registration form for processing. We no longer accept faxed applications.

From time to time a class may be canceled or there may be a location change. Please check your e-mail the night before a class to guarantee you have the most up to date information. The staff will do their best to contact you as soon as a change occurs.

E-mail Rachel Kopelovich to join the Nonprofit Learning Point LISTSERV. The LISTSERV will keep you updated on upcoming classes and other important program information.

Please e-mail the office if you would like someone from Nonprofit Learning Point to attend a meeting, event or to visit your office.

What happens next?

Once we receive your registration information and payment, you will receive a registration confirmation by e-mail listing the classes for which you have been registered. Please note that no confirmation will be sent until payment is received. If you haven’t received a confirmation at least 48 hours before a class, please contact the office immediately for assistance.

Will I receive additional information before class?

Students who register at least one week prior to the start date will receive a reminder e-mail notice with directions and parking information. All e-mails will be sent from the address nonprofit@vcu.edu. Please bring your e-mail confirmation to class so that instructors can confirm your registration.

What if I register for a class that is full?

If you request a class that is full, we will contact you to see if you would like to 1) be placed on a waiting list for that course, 2) be registered for a different course or 3) have your payment refunded.

How much does each class cost?

Each two-day session costs only $45 per person. We’re able to keep our costs low thanks to the generous support of the program’s community partners.

Where are classes held?

Nonprofit Learning Point classes are held at a variety of program partner sites around the Richmond area. Find directions to your class site.

Where is the Nonprofit Learning Point office?

The office is located at 920 W. Franklin St. inside The Valentine House. We’re located on the third floor in Room 304. Get driving directions to our office.
