Maria Posey | Viking Impact Advisors
In times of uncertainty, shifting funding landscapes, policy rollbacks, and increased pressures on communities, nonprofits are wise to look at their data and evaluation practices as a way to strengthen resilience, adapt and build advocacy power. This interactive bootcamp moves beyond compliance-driven data collection to show how evaluation can strengthen decision-making, drive learning, and amplify impact. Participants will learn what makes data and evaluation critical tools in times of change, and use an AI-driven data audit framework to assess how well their current data practices serve them in this moment. Participants will leave with new ideas and potential action steps that can help them re-align data practices as times change.

Julie Ha Truong | Leadership Savvy
Leaders can make or break an organization. We need leaders with agility, tenacity, and an open heart and mind.

Explore new frameworks you can immediately apply to better motivate your team to meet shared goals. You'll walk away with a better sense of your leadership style as well as what works best for your team. Finally, gain a better understanding of building meaningful and strategic relationships vital to being a more impactful and influential leader.
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.
Join us for an exclusive look at global fundraising benchmarks from 2025. We’ll unpack key trends across campaign types, donor behaviors, and giving patterns—plus reveal where donor value is rising (and where it's not). With a special guest speaker, we’ll also connect the dots between data and day-to-day strategy: how to plan, prioritize, and pivot for the best results in the year ahead.
Effective Volunteer Management: Recruitment, Training, Retention, Committees & Managing Difficult Volunteers - Feb 17 + 24
Leah Weiner | Nonprofit Learning Lab
Managing volunteers comes with its own unique challenges because volunteers are people with their own needs while simultaneously giving their time for free to a cause. In this workshop, we will dive into strategies to mitigate challenges in dealing with volunteers. We define volunteers as anyone who gives their time for free to support an organization’s programs, services, and mission. The content in this workshop is applicable to one-time volunteers, recurring volunteers, leadership committees, chapter-based organizations, affinity groups, alumni groups, and more.
FREE: 9 Green Flags You're Ready for Federal Grants (Even If No One's Ever Told You That Before) - Feb 17
Fielding Jezreel, Jezreel Consulting, in partnership with Consultants for Good (C4G)
Mid sized nonprofits are often told they aren't ready for federal grants. After working with organizations like this for a decade and helping them secure $135 in federal grants, these organizations share signs ("green flags") that they were ready for federal grants. This workshop breaks down 9 "green flags" that are nontraditional indicators of federal grant readiness.
Scott Garell | Garell Coaching
We all create great strategic plans and goals for our board and funders. We often struggle with translating that plan into real results that support our missions and drive meaningful impact. This webinar will focus on creating systems for accountability to deliver results such as: breaking the strategic plan into annual/quarterly/monthly goals using OKRs (Objectives & Key Results) for the org and team members, regular 1:1s best practices, and effective use of leadership meetings to track and identify challenges.
Emily Taylor | teenyBIG
