The NonProfit Training Institute When some people think about nonprofit organizations, they think of art museums and symphonies. Some think of large national or international public charities that have become recognized institutions. Others think of small community groups offering job training programs or soup kitchens feeding the homeless. At the NonProfit Training Institute (NPTI), we think of all of these. We also think of the Underground Railroad and the Civil Rights Movement. And we think of churches, schools and people--organizing to assist the elderly, the young and the handicapped. Then we think of people walking out into their communities and, along with seeing needs, they see a vision of how they might work to address those needs. Then they help others to see the vision and become inspired to join them in the work. From joblessness to hopelessness, from economic development to social outreach, and from health care to elderly care, the Nonprofit Training Institute serves the needs of committed visionaries who dream of making a positive impact on the problems in their communities. NPTI works to make dreams become a reality. The visionaries start with a vision and a commitment to give birth to a missionary endeavor. We hold their hands and help them deliver. The Mission of the NonProfit Training Institute is to promote excellence in the establishment and continued survival of viable community organizations. NPTI accomplishes this by providing technical assistance and training for emerging, new and established nonprofits and by advocating the adoption of professional ethics and standards for community organizations. In addition, NPTI encourages volunteerism and sponsorship for the most worthy community endeavors. The NonProfit Training Institute is an Internal Revenue Service recognized 501©(3) public charity based in Atlanta, Georgia

Community Referrals Membership Program (Anticipated) Frequently Asked Question’s 1. Can I transfer all of my CRC’s to another NPTI member, or am I required to apply some of them to my own training? CRC’s are entirely transferrable and there is no requirement that the owning member take training classes with NPTI before or after they transfer ownership to another NPTI member. 2. Can I increase my Extended Referral Community beyond 125 members and receive additional Community Referral Credits? The Class 3 CRC level gives an NPTI member $2500 in free training and this amount could possibly enable the member to take all of the classes currently being offered by NPTI and have an additional amount that may be used to re-take classes in the future or assist some other member who may need training for which they have not accumulated sufficient credits. ERC’s maximize at 125 members so that NPTI can focus on its own missionary endeavor instead of becoming overburdened with the record keeping required to follow the natural referral expansion into perpetuity. 3. Can I bring my referred memberships to the registration desk to pay for a particular class? Referred memberships must be recorded in NPTI’s system at least one week before they can be applied to a particular class. This allows NPTI adequate time to process the membership and apply appropriate credit to everyone in the Extended Referral Community. 4. How will I know when my ERC reaches the Class 2 or Class 3 level? An NPTI Membership Coordinator (MC) monitors CRC levels and is responsible for sending notifications to members when they reach the Class 2 and Class 3 levels. In addition, Class Level notifications with remaining CRC totals are placed on the NPTI membership list. That list is scheduled to be posted on the NPTI website in the near future. 5. Do CRC’s expire? NPTI members have up to five years to either use their CRC credits or to transfer them for use to other members. 6. Can non members use CRC’s? CRC’s are designed exclusively for use by NPTI members and may only be accumulated by or transferred to current NPTI members for use. 7. Can the 5% (5 percent) member discount be applied in addition to CRC credits to make up the total cost of a training fee. The five percent NPTI membership discount may only be applied to training class fees that do not also use CRC credits. If Community Organization Leadership (COL) classes are being taken individually, CRC credits may be applied to one or more of the classes, while the 5% discount is applied to others. Both the CRC credit and the 5% discount may not be applied to fees for the same class. 8. What is the cost of the Annual GCESCO Conference Registration? The average cost for the regular Registration during its first six years was $94. In 2008, the Registration will not exceed $300. 9. If my membership lapses, would I loose my CRC credits? Former NPTI members will be given a 120-day grace period to renew their memberships before their CRC’s are permanently erased from NPTI records. In such cases, the new membership process would be applied.
