Bayer Center for Nonprofit Management
About the Bayer Center for Nonprofit Management at Robert Morris University’s Rockwell School of Business
Nonprofits build strong communities.
We build strong nonprofits.
Since 1999, the Bayer Center has worked to build a stronger community by helping to build stronger, more knowledgeable nonprofits. We educate and collaborate with a myriad of nonprofits ranging from grassroots start-ups to large-scale organizations with a diverse range of missions. We incorporate collaboration, patience, and decades of knowledge and past successes into our education, consulting, and research for the dedicated folks who work to bring justice, opportunity, and hope to our region.
Our approach to education is to:
Offer core classes that are consistently re-imagined, guided by participant feedback and our ever-changing landscape
Add provisional classes informed by regional/global trends and sector best practices
Develop new classes recommended by clients and students to tackle their most pressing issues
Our approach to research is to:
Gather both quantitative and qualitative information through survey-based research and individual and community conversations
Distribute research results to inform nonprofits on how to thoughtfully enhance our community
Our approach to consulting is to:
Enter into a process that builds mutual trust and respect
Listen and walk beside you on the pathway to more efficient and effective management
Create a strategic approach to decision-making that accounts for human need and organizational sustainability
