Kate Viana | Nontoxic Nonprofits, Inc.
Strong leadership is the key to bridging generational communication gaps in nonprofit organizations. With Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X and Boomers bringing diverse perspectives, work styles, and expectations to the table, leaders must take an active role in fostering clear, effective communication. This webinar will explore how leadership influences workplace dynamics, common friction points between generations, and strategies for building trust and collaboration. Participants will learn how to model adaptive communication, create an inclusive environment where all voices are heard, and strengthen team cohesion. By taking a leadership-driven approach to intergenerational communication, nonprofit leaders can boost engagement, retention, and overall mission impact.
Michele Levy | Caravan Brand Partners
Word of mouth can be a powerful marketing tool. It can also wreak havoc with your brand if not used in a strategic, intentional way. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to create a user-friendly message map that helps brand champions tell a consistent story about your organization while bringing your brand to life with their own passion for your mission.
Leah Weiner | Nonprofit Learning Lab
Managing nonprofit programs requires planning, flexibility, and creativity- especially when expanding or launching new initiatives. This workshop guides you through the process of program development, scaling, and sustainability, exploring models like licensing, franchising, hub-and-spoke, partnerships, and social enterprise. You’ll learn who to involve, how to maintain program quality, and develop an action plan tailored to your organization. Attendees will leave with clear, actionable steps to expand and strengthen their programs.
FREE: Supercharge your Nonprofit with AI and Automation - Dec 8
Grace Chung | Automation Anywhere
Nonprofits are tackling some of the world’s most urgent challenges—but limited resources and manual processes often slow down impact. In this webinar, we will explore how automation and Generative AI technology can: automate repetitive tasks like data entry, volunteer onboarding, and impact reporting - freeing up nonprofit staff to focus on what matters most.
Charlyn Moss | Working Within
To secure funding, nonprofits must clearly communicate their impact and competitive advantage. This interactive workshop will guide participants through developing a compelling Theory of Change, refining their value proposition, and differentiating their organization in the funding landscape. By the end, participants will have a stronger positioning strategy to attract funders who align with their mission.
Krista Kurlinkus | Krista Kurlinkus LLC, in partnership with The Association of Consultants to Nonprofits (ACN)
As grant professionals, we are constantly searching for ways to streamline processes while enhancing the quality of our work. This session will focus on how grantseekers can use AI to find and critically evaluate grant search results for alignment, feasibility, and potential impact. We'll help you leverage AI to build efficiencies that free up time for the essential work of building relationships and crafting compelling proposals.
Jonathan Meagher-Zayas | Equity Warrior Strategies
Nonprofits often struggle to move beyond performative Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) statements and create meaningful, sustainable change—especially when equity work triggers organizational trauma (e.g., resistance, burnout, or retraumatization of marginalized staff). In a time when this work is more important than ever, yet facing misinformation and resistance, passionate leaders in this field must be intentional and engaging. This interactive workshop guides participants through a trauma-informed DEIB action planning process, blending strategic frameworks with healing-centered practices to ensure equity initiatives are effective, inclusive, and sustainable.
