CNP Launches Nonprofit Website Database

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Feb. 11, 2016) — The University of Kentucky Certified Nonprofit Professional (CNP) program is launching a nonprofit website database to help facilitate the process of connecting students and faculty to nonprofits across the Commonwealth.

In its current phase, the database provides a simple listing of nonprofits with direct links to websites. Students and faculty can sort and filter the list by city and by sector. From sports and religious groups to animals and foundations, the database has a wide variety of options for those with an interest in becoming connected with the nonprofit sector.  

The database may be accessed at www.uky.edu/UGE/CNP_nonprofit_database.

The website database may be helpful in facilitating the search for student internships, service learning projects, research and potential jobs after graduation. It helps connect students with nonprofits with which they may share a similar interest and passion.

There are more than 1,000 nonprofits across the Commonwealth currently in the database. Additional nonprofits are being added to the database weekly in order to provide as comprehensive a list as possible.

For more information on the database and the Certified Nonprofit Professional (CNP) program, visit www.uky.edu/UGE/CNP.
