Fulbright Scholar to Study at Center for Nonprofit Management

During his time at St. Thomas, Šedivý plans to study the U.S. nonprofit sector, and identify fundraising and management strategies that may be transferable to central Europe. His general goal is to help create and develop philanthropy in Czech society, which was decimated during the communist period. As an educator, he will apply his research in the development of new training programs for leaders of Czech nongovernmental organizations. He also hopes that his immersion in Minnesota’s nonprofit world will be used as an information resource for articles in the Czech media and other publications.
