Michele Levy | Caravan Brand Partners

Clear, compelling communications are more important than ever. But communications budgets, never large to begin with, are shrinking. So how can you do more with less? This practical, hands-on workshop will show you how to build a comprehensive, cost-effective communications plan that advances your mission and supports your strategic goals. Through real-world examples, you’ll learn how to focus your efforts, maximize limited resources, and implement strategies that deliver measurable results. Participants will leave with a clear framework and actionable tools to help their organizations build awareness, generate interest, and drive meaningful engagement—without increasing their budget.



Alexander Jones | Monday.com

A functional and easy-to-use CRM should be at the top of the list for any nonprofit, but they can be expensive and complicated. Join this session to learn how to resolve these challenges with monday.com for nonprofits. We will share practical tips for how to manage donors, volunteers, grant providers, members, beneficiaries, and more on the Monday CRM platform and how your nonprofit can join the FREE nonprofit program!



We all move through the world shaped by experiences, messages, and stories that influence how we see others. Implicit bias is a natural part of how the human brain categorizes information, yet without reflection, it can shape decisions and relationships in ways that limit equity and belonging. This interactive session invites nonprofit professionals to explore implicit bias with curiosity rather than blame, building awareness through reflection, dialogue, and real-world application. Participants will deepen their understanding of how empathy and emotional intelligence help interrupt automatic assumptions and strengthen leadership. The session concludes with practical tools to align organizational values with everyday practices.



Logan Foote | GolfStatus

The day of your golf tournament is the culmination of months of planning, and for nonprofits, it’s a prime time to boost revenue. This free webinar will dive into how to execute a seamless, professional, and profitable tournament day. Learn how to stay organized, engage golfers and sponsors, and maximize fundraising with creative day-of strategies. Walk away with actionable strategies to save time, reduce stress, and boost revenue, leaving you confident and ready to deliver an exceptional event that raises more for your mission.

Your staff is already using AI. The question is whether you're governing it—or hoping for the best. Here's the problem: 68-82% of nonprofit employees are using generative AI tools right now, but only 5-14% of organizations have an AI use policy in place. That 60+ point governance gap exposes your organization to serious fiduciary risk—uncontrolled data exposure, inconsistent practices, and the kind of "hope-based development" that keeps finance and operations leaders up at night.



Today’s social climate can feel overwhelming, to say the least. As we navigate ongoing societal shifts, economic uncertainty, and the very real impact these dynamics have on marginalized communities, many of us are left balancing a desire to make a difference with the everyday responsibilities of work and life. During this session, we will explore what it means to be an Active Ally in today’s environment. Whether you're leading a nonprofit through funding uncertainty, managing diverse teams in fast-paced settings, or working in corporate spaces while striving to create positive change, this session will offer practical tools to help you show up with intention and integrity for the communities you care about.



Peter Metsopoulos | Arcadia Strategy Group, in partnership with Consultants For Good (C4G)

Workshop participants will hear a 10-15 description of the Theory of Change methodology, and then engage in a 10-15 exercise of mapping that will allow them to explore (via a Whiteboard) how looking at the issues on which they work through the lens of a Theory of Change can expand their understanding of how change is created and different ways to perceive their role in that effort.

You know your organization is making a difference, but too often, funders don’t respond in the way you hope. When you have only a few minutes—or sometimes just seconds—to introduce your work, it’s easy for funders to miss the heart of your mission or overlook the real impact you’re creating in your community. In this interactive two-part series training, nonprofit leaders will develop a clear and compelling 90-second pitch that communicates the essence of their organization’s work.



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.



Betsy Block | B3 Coach

Burnout is reshaping the social impact sector, and too frequently the causes get minimized to employees being overworked and underpaid - limiting the range of solutions available to organizational leaders. Leaders need bold and practical approaches to meet the moment, including a more expansive way of understanding burnout as a systemic, organizational issue and the underlying factors that can be addressed. This workshop will blend reflection, research, and care to help you understand six drivers of burnout and identify opportunities to effect change at your organization. You’ll collaborate with peers to explore meaningful strategies to support your team and organization.



The purpose of this session will be to offer an alternative to traditional strategic planning that can help drive stability (and even optimism!) in your nonprofit even amidst our chaotic context. We’ll look at what stability planning means organizationally, financially, and programmatically, and then walk through how to lead this process in your own organization.



Strong fundraising pipelines are built through intentional focus and disciplined decision-making by identifying and prioritizing the right foundation and corporate funding opportunities. In this two-part series, you will learn how to build a focused, high-quality pipeline of corporate and foundation prospects, using criteria such as funder alignment, giving priorities, and likelihood of funding. You will explore how to identify foundation funding opportunities, assess fit with foundation guidelines, and prioritize prospects based on real potential.
