Pillar Nonprofit Network is now accepting applications for the 2018 Willy Van Klooster Nonprofit Board Governance Scholarship.
The Willy Van Klooster Nonprofit Governance Scholarship was developed to honour Willy's exemplary leadership in board governance as the founding and long-serving chair of Pillar Nonprofit Network. It is awarded annually, at no cost to the recipient, to build excellence in board governance for a small-to-medium-sized member organization of Pillar Nonprofit Network. The scholarship provides both theoretical and practical components and includes one-to-one support by a Pillar Board Chair or Past Chair.

The estimated value of the scholarship is $5,000.
