How we do it:
The National Institute for Civic Enterprise (NICE) engages and networks
creative human service professionals across the nation for the purpose of sharing and

provides an emergent knowledge base, forums, nonprofit visibility, online training,
and leadership mentoring. NICE also hosts Central Florida and national leadership

annual "NICE Civic Entrepreneur Awards" in the media to engage businesses, donor,
and volunteer support of these outstanding initiatives.
