Houston Goodwin | BetterImpact

Most nonprofit leaders underestimate the true value of their volunteer programs -- and what’s lost by underinvesting in them. Far from being supplemental, well-supported volunteer departments act as force multipliers that expand mission reach, strengthen community impact, and fuel organizational growth. Join Houston Goodwin, CEO of Better Impact, to explore the hidden costs of under-resourced programs and learn practical steps to secure the support and investment volunteer programs need to thrive.



Are you struggling with how to capture and translate data to help effectively tell your story and secure additional funding? In this workshop, you will acquire practical tips and easily applied strategies for effectively collecting and using data to strengthen your fundraising and communications efforts. You will gain insight into how to create an organizational culture of growth and learning that supports data collection and usage, low cost-effective ways to systematically track and manage data, and common pitfalls faced when collecting, reporting, and using data. Armed with practical tools and strategies for effectively incorporating data into your efforts, you will be equipped to up your fundraising and storytelling game.



Matt Eshleman | Community IT Innovators

Are you using public ChatGPT or logging into your organization's private Copilot? Is Google Gemini safe? What about other AI tools? Do you have to disclose when you use an AI note taker at a board meeting? Is your valuable data protected? What does your AI policy allow? Learn from a cybersecurity expert how to use AI the secure way. Every level of AI user will learn something in this session.



Data storytelling is the art of translating complex data into compelling narratives. It goes beyond a mere presentation of numbers and charts. It's about weaving data, visuals, and narrative into a cohesive story that resonates with your audience. Effective data storytelling makes information more accessible, memorable, and actionable. When done well, data storytelling is less like a novel and more like a choose-your-own-adventure. It takes your hand and leads you through the story but allows you to see that the data can tell any number of stories. It invites you in, orients you, and lets you explore.



Matt Pearl | Pearl Impact Media

Uncertainty, surprise announcements, and jeopardized funding have created a chaotic time for so many essential organizations. In times like these, video can be extremely powerful. It can help raise awareness, supercharge fundraising, and captivate clients, donors, and everyone in-between - and particularly now, it can reassert the necessity and vitality of what you provide. But what kind of video? What's the best way to use it on social media? And how do you know when to DIY and when to invest in a high-end production company? Gain answers in this workshop.



Since 2020, nonprofits have faced multiple stressors to our programs — including shifting donor preferences and evolving federal guidelines. These disruptions impact every level of our work, from formal strategic plans to ideas jotted on a napkin. In a landscape of flux and change, a static plan is a liability. This session will focus on practical tools to plan for the future, while navigating a constantly changing present and still preserving our core missions.



Maria Bryan | Maria Bryan Creative

Even when names and faces are protected, stories can still speak volumes. Anonymity doesn’t weaken a story, it challenges us to tell it with more creativity and integrity. When safety, consent, or privacy are at stake, anonymizing a story can be the most trauma-informed and ethical path forward. This training will guide you through how to share anonymous stories that are still rich and emotionally resonant. Through case studies of real nonprofit examples, you’ll explore how other organizations have used anonymity with intention and impact. You’ll also learn how to navigate consent conversations, craft compelling narratives without identifiers, and build trust with your audience by clearly communicating the context behind anonymous storytelling.



Logan Foote | GolfStatus

A full field is more than a milestone for your charity golf tournament—it’s a driver of stronger fundraising results, increased sponsor value, and greater awareness for your mission. But filling the field takes more than hope and last-minute promotion. This free webinar will share proven strategies nonprofits use to consistently attract golfers and build momentum around their golf fundraisers. Learn how to promote your tournament with intention, remove barriers to registration, and create an experience that appeals to both golfers and sponsors. 



Roxanne Novo Rimmer | Hearts 2 Headlines

In this session, we’ll guide you through the essentials of authentic branding, helping you define your brand’s personality, uncover the meaning behind your colors, and craft a voice that truly reflects your mission. Even better? You’ll learn how to assess your brand’s consistency across visuals and messaging, ensuring every touchpoint tells a cohesive, compelling story that resonates with your audience.



Charlyn Moss | Working Within

This two-part accelerator helps nonprofit leaders strengthen their fundability and build a focused, realistic fundraising strategy. Session One introduces what funders look for and helps participants assess their organization’s readiness for funding, including alignment between mission, programs, and outcomes. Between sessions, participants will complete a fundability-focused homework assignment that receives facilitator review. Session Two explores the 12 nonprofit revenue streams and supports participants in identifying and prioritizing their top three revenue strategies based on organizational capacity and funding readiness.



Meena Das | NamasteData

This session is for nonprofit professionals who want to create inclusive, effective surveys. You’ll learn how to write clear, respectful questions that reduce bias, improve accessibility, and encourage more honest responses. Through real examples and practical tips, you’ll gain confidence designing surveys that reflect your entire community, not just the most visible voices.



Whitney Martin | ProActive Consulting

We’re all familiar with the hard and soft costs associated with poor employee selection decisions. However, perhaps more importantly, hiring the wrong person is PAINFUL. Painful for the person who has to manage them, for their teammates, for the individual who was hired and is now failing, and for HR or the Selection Committee who finds themselves back at square one. Poor selection decisions happen because the decision criteria at our disposal are limited, often subjective, and unreliable. In this session, we'll learn how to infuse additional, objective data points into the selection process in order to increase the odds of making the best hire every time.



Dr. Andrea Ortega | Palante Nonprofits, in partnership with Consultants for Good (C4G)

This workshop explores how nonprofits can test and refine bilingual fundraising messaging across newsletters, donor emails, and social media. Participants will learn how to use A/B testing and performance data to understand what language resonates, without compromising authenticity or community trust. The session emphasizes practical, repeatable systems for improving engagement and fundraising outcomes.
