Free Nonprofit Training Webinars for Fundraising, Marketing, IT, and DEI

Make a plan for how to engage your donors in interviews, get the most out of your donor meetings, and leverage key insights from existing donors to grow your donor base.

Feedback culture is one of the most powerful and underutilized performance and retention strategies available to nonprofit leaders. Sustained practice requires more than skill-building: it depends on the psychological foundations and organizational conditions that make it possible. This session outlines those conditions and introduces the essential elements of a feedback-fluent organization, from self-knowledge to structural design.

Organizations invest in evaluation — then the report sits on a shelf. But that data is exactly what strengthens grant proposals and sharpens donor conversations. This workshop gives professionals a structured process for identifying what their data is saying and translating findings into language that resonates with funders, donors, and boards.

Your donor data and your marketing platform are telling two different stories about the same supporter, and that gap is costing you. Andi Graham, CFRE, founder and CEO of Big Sea, walks nonprofit teams through what a unified marketing and fundraising stack actually looks like, how to decide whether to integrate or replace, and one concrete first step to get there.

A deep dive into strategies and tactics to effectively engage volunteer leadership in fundraising and other areas of organizational growth. Learnings are based on real-life experiences and conversations with board members at a variety of NGOs and non-profits.

The philanthropic landscape has shifted considerably this year. Funders have been rethinking priorities, economic conditions continue to influence giving patterns, and the political climate is actively shaping how resources move across the nonprofit sector. With the first half of the year behind us, now is the right moment to assess where things stand and how to position your organization for what's ahead.

Mission alone doesn’t sustain performance, leadership does. This discussion helps nonprofit leaders strengthen people management as core infrastructure, equipping managers with practical tools to build clarity, accountability, and engagement while advancing organizational values and long-term impact.

AI is already showing up across nonprofit work — in fundraising, communications, program design, operations, research, and decision-making. But before teams ask, “Can AI help us do this faster?” we need to ask better questions: Who benefits? Who could be harmed? What data is being used? What decisions are being shaped? And what human judgment must remain in place?

In this 60-minute practical session, participants will be introduced to an AI Equity Framework designed to help nonprofit teams evaluate whether an AI use case is responsible, equitable, and aligned with their mission. We’ll explore the foundations of AI equity, discuss common risks, and learn to apply the framework. Participants will leave with a clearer way to assess AI ideas before moving from curiosity to implementation.
