The Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits is proud to offer the Standards for Excellence® program, a customized training that teaches "better practices" for nonprofits. Since 2006, this program has provided Oklahoma nonprofits with the tools and knowledge to be more effective in pursuing their missions, strengthening their infrastructures and ensuring sustainability.

In partnership with the national Standards for Excellence Institute, the Center offers an in-depth, four-part clinic series designed to help nonprofits implement the eight principles and 55 standards of the program.

The Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits is one of only 10 organizations to be accepted as a replication partner by the national Standards for Excellence Institute.

In 2010, the Center was the first organization in Oklahoma to become certified under the Standards for Excellence Institute.
