Nonprofits
The Covestro Center for Community Engagement helps nonprofits do more good. Our programs offer you the opportunity to focus on solving problems, growing your organization, and most importantly, sustainability.
All of our programs were built with you in mind. BoardsWork! recruits, trains, and matches new board members to your organization’s board of directors. SkillShare leverages the skills and knowledge of business professionals to help you tackle complex projects. Executive Service Corps harnesses the power of volunteers to aid you in project management and board development.
“Nonprofit organizations play as essential a role in healthy, vibrant communities as for-profit organizations do, but are often stretched for human and financial resources. The Covestro Center for Community Engagement seeks to build bonds between nonprofits and corporations to provide those much-needed resources.”
-Jerry MacCleary, Retired Chairman and CEO, Covestro LLC
