Marketing and Communication for the Not for Profit sector

nfp academy

Objectives

Founded in November 1996, NFPConsulting.org (formally NFPmarketing.org) in Antwerp, Belgium. Whilst officials under orders of a well known NGO did a study for a nonnegotiable amount, a question popped up "how do the small businesses and/or NGO's do their market research studies with little or no funds?" the answer was simple: Either they don't, or we make it more financially accessible.

Since then officials were convinced that even the small business or NGO is able to work as productively as a large commercial business.

The main aim of the NFP Academy is to become the platform for the marketing professionals of the NFP sector. NFP Academy wants to become the meeting place for marketeers in the NFP sector, but not only that

Since the beginning, NFPConsulting.org Academy is continuously moving forward. It has fixed itself six priorities:

• To promote and stimulate the marketing in all the segments of the NFP sector.
• To permanently enrich the marketing with a number of services, products and activities.
• To ensure that the activities are sufficiently supported.
• To work on a volunteering basis.
• To ensure the professional management in order to guarantee maximum efficiency.
• To encourage the collaboration between the sectors, commercial and NFP.

NFP Academy wants to continue to develop as a platform in the sector, to echo the know-how in the world of marketing, a stimulant in encouragement of marketing professionalism in the NFP sector
