Bridgespan's Nonprofit Development Program

This program is for organisations located in India, South Asia, and South-East Asia. If you are based Africa, please visit our BNDP Africa program. If you are in any other geography, please explore our Leadership Accelerator program.

NGOs typically operate in resource-constrained environments while still trying to maximise their impact. Our research suggests the importance of addressing strategy and talent issues to help unlock the true potential of NGOs. Unfortunately, because of the resource constraints, NGO leadership teams often don’t receive the time and support they need to properly resolve these issues.

Bridgespan’s Nonprofit Development Program (BNDP) leverages our two decades of experience working with nonprofits on strategy, leadership, and organisational issues to provide coaching and the right set of tools and frameworks to NGO senior leadership teams to enhance their performance

How the Program Works

• We believe change is driven by a team and not an individual. Therefore, this three-month virtual program is designed specifically for NGO/social enterprise leadership teams of three to seven participants. A typical team structure includes the CEO/ED, a project lead, and other members of the senior leadership team.
• Your team is in the driver's seat, while Bridgespan coaches provide support through one-on-one coaching for the organisation at critical points throughout the program.
• The total time commitment per person is around three to four hours per week over the three-month period.
• The online learning platform provides flexibility for your team to work at its own pace.

What Else You Should Know

• Applications for all cohorts are open on a rolling basis. Cohorts are typically finalized three weeks prior to the program start date.
