Community Partners
The Master of Nonprofit Management Program (MNPM) is proud to collaborate with a growing network of community partners across Greater Houston and beyond. These partnerships are a core part of how our students learn and how we stay connected to real-world nonprofit and public challenges.
MNPM community partners reflect the diversity and complexity of the nonprofit and public sectors. Our partners vary widely in mission focus, service area, organizational size, and operating model, giving students exposure to different professional environments.
Partner With MNPM
If your organization is interested in hosting an intern, proposing a special project, or collaborating on a service-learning or research initiative, we’d love to hear from you. MNPM partnerships are designed to be mutually beneficial—supporting community impact while giving students meaningful, supervised professional experience.
Updates and Corrections
We aim to recognize all of our partners accurately. If your organization has worked with MNPM and is not listed here, or if you’d like your organization’s name updated, please contact:
