Helping 2000+ nonprofit learners from all skill levels
Merit learners and leaders leverage an immersive, interactive, and intuitive professional development experience to not just earn badges but really bring their learning to life.
Here are just a few of their stories.
Building my "vocabulary"
This is the first nonprofit I've worked at, and my learning on Merit has really helped me fast-track my understanding of some of the unique vocabulary within the nonprofit sector. I'm able to better understand how my work fits within the bigger picture in my organization!

Elevate our Professional Development
Partnering with Merit has allowed for LiFT to better streamline our required trainings and elevate our professional development opportunities for our team members. With self-paced courses, team members are able to access trainings during their busy schedules and enhance their learning with meaningful subject matter such as Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion, Organizational Capacity, and LiFT-specific training courses.

Right Time, Right Price
Merit has become a staple in our learning and development offerings to employees. Employees are increasingly attracted to and retained by learning opportunities organizations offer. Merit helps round out our sources of learning and development, and thus, is an important component of our employee retention strategy.

Nonprofit-Focused Support
When I first engaged Merit, my primary goal was to get my employees the specific, nonprofit-focused support I felt would benefit them as they settled into their roles. What we ended up with was exactly that and more.

Takes the pressure off
Merit is an affordable learning platform we can all use at our own pace or together. It's flexible and the lessons are short and to the point which we all like since we're all so busy. Merit takes the pressure off of me to continuously search for and share learning materials while not knowing who read what. Now I can see what my team is working on and follow up with them or hold a discussion at a meeting about a Merit training.
