Support NLC Institutes

Your gift may be designated to support one or more of the NLC’s new Institutes and Conference Programs.

Through this specially funded program, the NLC provides opportunities for focused study in specific fields including national conferences and symposia . Two new Institutes below focus on current issues involving health care and strategic labor policies and political action.  Donors may contribute to these efforts or may help the college develop whole new programs. Please contact the Office of Development if you wish to share in this program.

The Bernard & Audrey Rapoport Foundation Institute for Labor & Politics

This institute supports courses, speakers, workshops, and other educational programming to empower union members and working families to better understand local, state, national, and international political forces that impact their lives.

Kaiser Permanente Health Care Institute

This institute supports NLCs current healthcare bargaining courses; development of new healthcare certificate and degree programs; and a national conference on healthcare policy, bargaining and benefits held annually at the NLC.
