Who We Are
The Nonprofit Center at Texas A&M University-Victoria works in partnership with the United Way of the Crossroads. We support local nonprofit organizations across the Victoria County Region, with a special focus on rural communities.
Nonprofits play a vital role in helping communities thrive - but many rural organizations face challenges like limited funding, fewer training opportunities, and small teams wearing many hats. We work alongside these organizations to provide practical training, leadership support, and resources that help them grow stronger and serve their communities more effectively.
By investing in the people and organizations doing this important work, we're helping build a stronger, more connected crossroads region - now and for the future.
What We Offer
Nonprofit Impact Series
A full day on interactive training and discussion centered on an important area of nonprofit work. Each quarterly Focus Session explores on topic in depth - from board leadership and program development to fundraising and new tools like AI - so participants gain practical skills they can apply right away.
Nonprofit Leadership Academy
A nine-month leadership program for current and emerging nonprofit leaders. Each monthly sessions focuses on an essential topic - such as planning, fundraising, communication, and financial management - helping participants build practical skills, grow confidence, and connect with peers across the region.
Roundtable Groups
Informal, conversation-based gatherings where nonprofit professionals come together to share ideas and experiences. Each roundtable explores a specific theme - like fundraising or community engagement - creating space for honest conversations, shared problem-solving, and meaningful connection.
Regional Workshops
Hosted in neighboring rural counties, these workshops bring nonprofit training and resources directly to communities in the Crossroads and Gulf Coast region. Each session is tailored to local needs and designed to strengthen capacity, spark collaboration, and expand access to practical tools and support.
Customized Workshops & Coaching
Tailored training and one-on-one support design around your nonprofits needs. Whether you're strengthening your board, launching a new program, or managing growth, we offer practical guidance and hands-on coaching to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
Our programs and partnerships support nonprofit leaders across Victoria and the surrounding counties of the Crossroads region.
