Thanks to a generous gift from Golub Capital, Yale School of Management is deepening its longstanding commitment to leveraging business acumen for social good.
 
Yale SOM’s Nonprofit Board Fellows program, which equips business students with the skills and experience needed to serve as nonvoting board members for nonprofit organizations in and around New Haven, will join a national network of similar programs at top business schools known as the Golub Capital Nonprofit Board Fellows Network.
 
“Good board members dramatically improve the effectiveness of nonprofits,” says David Golub, president of Golub Capital. “The Golub Capital Nonprofit Board Fellows Network will deepen the pool of impactful nonprofit board members, while fostering collaboration among leading business schools around how to support positive social impact.”
 
Yale SOM Dean Kerwin Charles says the gift is part of an exciting new chapter in the school’s longstanding commitment to applying business tools to create meaningful social change.  
 
“Our students are deeply committed to both developing rigorous business skills and finding their individual paths to meaningful impact on society,” Charles says. “The enhancements to the Golub Capital Nonprofit Board Fellows Program will have multiple benefits: for our students, for the organizations where they dedicate their efforts, and for the broader community.”
