Since 2022, the world has changed, but what has shifted in the fundraising landscape? Development staff don’t operate alone, whether you are in a large organization or a one-person shop. Navigating new forms of communication, juggling priorities, and connecting with donors are added to a layer of fundraising foundations that busy full or part-time fundraisers must manage. This workshop will explore those fundamentals in the light of a changing world, leaving participants with practical tools and skills to refocus their fundraising goals and move toward success.
As a nonprofit leader, you engage in negotiations all the time. You might negotiate with a foundation over the scope of work for a funded project, with a major donor over the amount and purpose of funding, with staff over their job duties and terms of employment, with board members over aspects of a strategic plan, with sponsors over forms of recognition, with nonprofit partners over the structure of a collaboration, and with vendors over costs and discounts. Successful negotiations are essential to effective nonprofit strategy and achieving your organization’s goals. Negotiation is a process by which parties share information and use problem-solving to achieve mutually beneficial solutions. Yet many seek to avoid it, even nonprofit leaders working for important causes. During this lightning round session, we’ll discuss why and give you eight negotiation skills to use at your shop.

This former nonprofit exec will share how she cuts through the clutter to ensure the most critical work is done and share resources for you to use in your daily work.
So, you’re lucky enough to have one or more staff members working on your team. And, they report to you. Nothing to worry about, right? Think again!

Join Kari Anderson, Principal with Incite! Consulting to learn how communication, consistency, and collaboration can help you successfully manage your team.
There’s an adage in successful nonprofits: “the leader works ON the organization, not IN it”. What’s the secret trick to pull yourself out of the weeds? Delegation. Yep, it can be difficult (for various reasons), but mastering this skill is imperative to your success as a nonprofit leader. Join Kari Anderson, Principal with Incite! Consulting to discuss why delegating is so tricky, determine what you can (and should) move off your plate, and how delegation can be a powerful staff development tool.
So, your nonprofit has finally grown up! All board positions are filled, your staff team is stable, and the mission is being fulfilled. And then you discovered that half the board terms are off next year. And your executive director won the Powerball and is leaving you next month. Surprise, surprise, everyone leaves their role at a nonprofit organization. And the show goes on. What sort of show you have is based on your succession plan. Or, lack thereof. Succession planning is one of a nonprofit’s most critical business planning processes. And, one of the most often ignored. During this five-part series, we’ll discuss succession planning and why it’s an integral part of a healthy nonprofit. We’ll dissect what role each of us plays in ensuring that our nonprofits thrive, both while we’re here and when we’re gone.

Does the thought of collaborating with another nonprofit in your community alternately give you fits of nausea, alternating with a “light at the end of the tunnel”? Have you thought – even once – of partnering with another agency to do similar work to lighten your load?

Let’s spend some time together mapping out your current and potential internal and external collaborative efforts and how they impact your nonprofit.
