With the revision of the IRS 990 form beginning in tax year 2008, massive regulation has again descended on the nonprofit community. Overlooked by much of the nonprofit community has been the long-standing requirement that an organization must register in forty states and the District of Columbia if it solicits their residents for contributions. This session is for any nonprofit that seeks to assume this legal and administrative responsibility and do it themselves. More Info |

How does a nonprofit compete with other nonprofits and even for-profits that may be providing similar services, and in many cases, competing for dollars from funders who may not be aware of the organization and its services? In this webinar class we discuss the importance of branding and creating awareness of your organization. We will talk about public relations, publicity and pricing your "product” for the marketplace.

In a perfect world, wealthy donors would find out about your cause and then mail you a check. You'd never have to leave your office! Oh wait, you probably wouldn't have a job either.... In the real world, contributors of all dollar amounts like to be "courted." They want you to develop a relationship with them before you ask for a gift. But how do you manage the cultivation process? What are creative ways to get potential donors involved with your cause? How do you explain to your boss that cultivation activities are important when he or she is asking, "Show me the money"? This session will help you exceed your fundraising goals by helping you diversify cultivation techniques to meet the desires of your donor, identify cultivation "roadblocks" and how to break through them, and develop ways to emphasize the importance of donor cultivation with management and boards.

An organization’s Board can be its best asset or its most significant challenge. With the current economic challenges, the demand for charitable dollars as well as public concerns about how nonprofit organizations sometimes appear to operate, excellence in governance is critical for all charities. Careful planning and a systematic approach are essential in finding the right people for the job. Targeted cultivation and recruitment of Board members will determine how effective your organization will be in fulfilling its mission now and in the future.
This session will investigate what defines a successful Board, and its advocacy for the charity in its community. Is your Board increasing your visibility? Bringing in increased donor dollars? Enhancing viability? Engaging more volunteer support? Does every Board member consistently make his/her own annual gift? Contribute leadership to the organization? Are there internal challenges in managing some of the Board members? Do you know for sure that all compliance requirements are addressed? In this session, all of these subjects, and more, will be discussed. More Info |

Participants will learn specific strategies to utilize board meetings to achieve goals and objectives from the nonprofit's strategic plan.

Moving Your Donor Base from Good to Great is a workshop designed to provide strategies for moving small and intermediate donors to a new level of giving. It begins with focusing on the top intermediate donor groups and engages the board, past board, staff and donors in communications and ask strategies that increase giving, In one example an organization moved an average gift size of $26 to $256 in four years while the donors base increased by more than 50 percent —3,000 to 4,700 donors! It is a powerful strategy that can work in even the smallest organization. More Info |

Many development officers are so relieved when the fiscal year or calendar year comes to an end, they don't even want to think about work over the summer. The year-end mailings are done, the events are on hold until fall, the grant deadlines have all been met, so let’s just take some time off. Our donors are not available during the summer so what do we do to fill our time? Why not spend the next month getting ready so you can hit the ground running in the year ahead! More Info |

Many organizations are proficient at recruiting qualified staff. Conversely, finding qualified volunteers is often a challenge for even the best organizations. Even more challenging is developing a methodology to put both qualified staff and volunteers on an upward leadership path. The purpose of this session is to look at what barriers exist for solid succession planning and what strategies should be engaged to ensure that that when one leader departs—be it a key staff or volunteer position—someone will be readily prepared to move into that top spot.
