Nonprofit|UND Catalyst
generating connections between Nonprofit Organizations and UND
Please provide the information requested below to help UND faculty and students identify nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations in the Grand Forks community that they can assist through research and course-related learning projects. We are seeking project ideas that will help nonprofits build their capacity and improve their processes that in turn will produce benefits for the community.
This information will be listed on the Center for Community Engagement’s website und.edu/centers/community-engagement in an effort to connect the needs of local nonprofit organizations with UND faculty and students who want to engage in academic related research or course projects. The information is intended for UND faculty and students but will be accessible to the general public. Acceptance of projects is based on faculty choosing a match in correlation with their academic goals and there is no guarantee of your project being chosen or a specific timeline.
If you have questions, please contact Heather Helgeson, Coordinator Nonprofit Leadership Program, at 701-777-3741 or .
