A group of people got together—maybe including you—and founded a nonprofit corporation to tackle an important issue. That corporation is like a car. It has a shape and size\, it needs to be registered\, and the people in the car matter. You need fuel to propel it forward. \nDuring Tools for Running an Effective Nonprofit\, we will cover the basics of running a nonprofit. We will draw on tested tips and tools\, including NAWA’s four learning toolkits on boards\, finance\, law\, and planning. You will leave with concrete next steps on how to strengthen your organization to better achieve your mission. Join us on this road trip to a strong nonprofit! \nTopics include: \n\nThe right size for your organization to be sustainable\nLegal and finance information to compliance and protection\nBudgeting\nProgram design\nVolunteer management\nFundraising\nGrant readiness\n\nYou will leave ready to: \n\nDefine to others what success looks like for your organization\nName one way your organization can be more sustainable\nName two elements to track for legal and financial compliance and protection\nExplain how your programs tie back to your mission\nDescribe how your organization understands overhead\nList at least two things that need to be in a volunteer or board job description\nName one way your organization can raise money without spending any money\n\nA light meal will be served. There will be plenty of breaks for networking and connection\, and you will have opportunities to ask about specific resources your organization needs. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCost\n\n\n\n\n$10 + tax for NAWA Members – check the Member Resources page for the 50% discount code. \n$20 + tax for Not-Yet-Members – interested in joining? Learn more about membership. \nCost should not be a barrier to participate.
