The
Kellogg School of Management offers a number of opportunities
for nonprofit organizations to tap into the resources
of Kellogg School students. These range from class projects
to pro bono consulting to summer internships. Projects
cross multiple disciplines including marketing, fundraising,
new product development, general management, operations,
finance, etc.
Class
projects are sought by students enrolled in various
courses at Kellogg as an opportunity to apply their
learning to a real organization. The project is generally
approved by the faculty member and is a fairly specific
issue that can be understood during the 10 week quarter.
The project is part of the grade issued for the course
and often officials of the nonprofit will be asked to
attend a final presentation. The Kellogg School is on
the quarter system with classes beginning in October,
January, March and for part-time students, June.
Previous projects that have been completed are: marketing
audits for social service, arts and social service organizations,
development plans, strategic plan for major gift solicitation
for an educational institution, a marketing plan for
youth job center and others.
Interested nonprofit organizations can present their
opportunities to Liz
Howard, Associate Director of the Center for Nonprofit
Management or can fill in the online
form.
Neighborhood
Business Initiatives is a Kellogg student club that
supports under-resourced small businesses and nonprofits
in the Chicago area through pro-bono consulting services.
Each quarter, they select several 10 week projects that
teams of four to six students work on for that quarter.
campusCATALYST, a nonprofit partnered with Northwestern University, provides Chicago-area nonprofits with high-impact, pro-bono consulting services. Each quarter, cC selects 5 nonprofits for 10-week engagements with teams of 5 Northwestern undergraduates, mentored by a Kellogg MBA student. All undergraduate students are admitted via application, and in conjunction with their 10-week engagement, they are enrolled in an academic course on nonprofit management.
Summer
internships are an additional way that nonprofit
organizations can benefit from student assistance. (Examples
of the types of projects interns have completed are
available.) All interns receive a stipend for their
summer of work and generally are employed for 10 weeks
between June and August. The Center for Nonprofit Management
and the Office of the Dean will provide matching stipends
for the students.
