NANOE Credentials – 10 Reasons Why Nonprofit Practitioners Love Them

NANOE Credentials – 10 Reasons Why Nonprofit Practitioners Love Them is Joanne Oppelt’s take on America’s fastest growing adult continuing education program. Joanne is a tenured faculty member at National Development Institute and a senior counselor with Development Systems International. Here’s what this nonprofit management veteran has to share:

Three years ago I discovered NANOE’s New Guidelines for Nonprofits. This important work focused on the myriad of charitable legislation, tax laws, industry standards, outdated philosophies, organizational structures, and practices that have STOPPED SECTOR GROWTH on all fronts. In the face of this downturn, NANOE also noted that governments, philanthropic communities and civil society demands more performance from charities to effectively tackle a host of social, health and environmental issues. Their final analysis determined that industry standards have not changed to meet the needs of the 21st century. NANOE’s three credentialing programs are based on this prolific work. With that background in mind here are ten reasons (in descending order) why I covet Certified Nonprofit Executive (CNE), Certified Development Executive (CDE) & Certified Nonprofit Consultant (CNC):

Certified Development Executive (CDE)
Many fundraisers come to the nonprofit sector with great intentions to advance a charity’s mission without having correctly answered the question, “who is our customer?” Executives mistakenly think that the rain forest, the student, the homeless or a family-in-need are their customers and therein lies the difficulty. Individuals you serve are not your customers because they have no money. Certified Development Executives are expert at understanding who their true customer is and are equipped with new best practices that ensure they create life-long partnerships with new friends who financially invest in your mission.

Second, you must learn how to disseminate your knowledge using the consulting arts. Third, you must build a sustainable business enterprise that consistently generates opportunities to serve.
