The Nonprofit and Voluntary Action Center (NVAC) in the Political Science Department of UNC Charlotte was formed in 2008 to connect faculty members and graduate students on UNCC’s campus who share research and teaching interests in nonprofit organizations, philanthropy and voluntary action. NVAC is intended to be a hub to facilitate communication across many different disciplines. NVAC is an opportunity for faculty and graduate students to network with each other, learn more about nonprofit organizations, engage in interdisciplinary research, and provide outreach to the local nonprofit community.
NVAC has a strong interest in building connections in the local community and providing research and community reports that will be of benefit to the nonprofit sector in Mecklenburg County and surrounding areas. NVAC members are continually trying to strengthen their relationships and ties with the local nonprofit sector.
