Center for Community and Nonprofit Studies, UW-Madison
The Center for Community & Nonprofit Studies (the CommNS) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is a hub for faculty, students, and community partners to collaborate on research, practice, and evaluation that examines the well-being of communities and the civic and nonprofit sectors.
Co-Create is the CommNS space for collaborative creation with nonprofit organizations and community groups to meet unique needs for advancing social change. In Co-Create, we bring to the table the best we have to offer – expertise in nonprofits and community processes, skills in evaluation and others ways of bringing inquiry to action, facilitation and group process, connections to university resources, and other assets – to help mission-driven groups advance their work.
