SUMMARY:FREE Webinar Series: Accidental Techie - How to Support Your Nonprofit Without an IT Background from Idealware
DESCRIPTION:December 3\, 10\, 17\, 1:00 – 2:30pm ET \nREGISTER NOW\nAre you the person everyone at your small nonprofit looks to when the printer won’t work or the Wi-Fi is down? Are you the one with admin privileges for all your software? Do you have to carry out basic IT tasks such as run backups and install anti-virus software? Is IT only a small fraction of your job (but always threatening to take over)? Let Tech Impact help you through the big IT issues many small nonprofits face. Our three-week course will provide you with the knowledge you need to support your nonprofit and its many IT needs. \nThrough participation in this course\, you will: \n\nFamiliarize yourself with the basics of your organization’s infrastructure.\nLearn the fundamentals of networking and backing up shared files.\nDiscover best practices that will make you a more effective software administrator.\nExplore new software options.\nReview security risks and safety principles.\nDiscuss technology planning and how to help everyone at your organization get what they need from their technology resources.\nLearn how to keep your IT responsibilities from taking over your job.\n\nDecember 3: Hardware Infrastructure Basics\nComputers\, printers\, phones\, routers—there are a lot of gadgets that can turn glitchy. This session will cover the basics you need to know about the various pieces of hardware in a typical office and review common troubleshooting techniques to keep them up and running. We’ll also look at what you need to know to network computers\, keep them connected\, and reliably back up files. \nDecember 10: Managing Software and Security\nHow do you decide what software to choose when there are hundreds of options\, each with their own unique features? And once you’ve chosen a software package\, how do you manage it so that your organization gets what it needs and is protected from security threats? We’ll answer these questions and more by reviewing frameworks to choose and administer your organization’s software. \nDecember 17: The Human Side of Technology\nIT isn’t just IT. A big part of the job is working directly with people—both to fix small problems and undertake long-term planning. We’ll help you develop strategies for leading large-scale technology projects and pass on tips from our own in-house IT expert on the best ways to work one-on-one with your colleagues. \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Engaging Sponsors and Donors: What’s Changed & What Hasn’t
DESCRIPTION:WVNPA members attend for $35! \nThis fast-paced presentation will center on questions many nonprofits are facing when it comes to engaging supporters\, from corporate sponsors to individual donors. What approaches do we alter during this challenging time and what must we change to keep moving forward? It is a broad arena for sure! We will focus on three components: \n\nLessons Learned Post 9-11: Understand how nonprofits responded when the country’s focus was elsewhere. What worked. What did not. And what insights will help us make the right decisions today when it comes to keeping our current supporters as well as attracting new\, like-minded individuals and companies.\nEvaluating Current Tactics: We will look at what is most likely to happen and why along with a series tough questions for that can be applied to outreach strategies\, campaigns and events. Pepper in case studies from different sized organizations and the right decisions for your organization’s challenges become more clear.\nThe Bigger Picture: In challenging times\, nonprofit volunteers and leaders must come together around a process that organizes the outreach and stewardship of individual donors\, corporate sponsors\, volunteers and influencers. Walk through one model that works\, even when folks are social distancing.\n\nExamples and content will draw from various sized organizations in various sized markets. So\, no one will be left out of the conversation. And board members are strongly encouraged to attend! \nAttendees who would like to connect with Parker before the session will be invited to do so via an optional short survey that will be sent in the registration confirmation email. She reads each one and will respond! And while there will be time for questions and answers\, those interested in more detailed responses will have the opportunity to sign up for a 15-minute private Q & A session with her during Call In Days following the webinar. For added impact\, invite a board member to join you at the session. (Limited space available.) \nThe logistics: \n\nWebinar Date: Wednesday\, January 27\, 2021\nWebinar Time (Eastern Time Zone): 2:00-3:15pm ET\nRegistration Fee:\n\nMembers of the Partner State Association: $35 (including WVNPA Members!)\nWest Virginia Nonprofit Association members receive a discount when placing their order. Email amanda@dev.wvnpa.org for the discount code.\nPotential members of the Partner State Association: $55\n\n\nOther notes: This is a live webinar and will NOT be recorded.\n\nAbout the presenter: \nThe workshop is presented by Parker Harrington\, founder\, and owner of Sponsorship Plus\, a national firm dedicated to helping nonprofits fulfill their mission and positively impact their communities. Parker is known for ethical approaches to galvanize sponsors and donors\, engage deeply committed volunteers and inspire influencers to act. She enjoys building and leading diverse teams of staff and board and is appreciated for her high energy\, knowledge\, and generosity in sharing her expertise.\n(WVNPA members may remember Parker if you attended the 2020 virtual Leadership Summit.)

SUMMARY:Neighborhood Investment Program Policy Briefing
DESCRIPTION:Established in 1996\, the Neighborhood Investment Program (NIP) is set to expire on July 1\, 2021.  This program reaches nearly 200 nonprofits statewide and helps to leverage over $6 million annually in charitable donations.   The WVNPA\, Philanthropy West Virginia\, and other partners are asking the legislature to renew and expand the NIP.  This renewal is more important than ever as the nonprofit sector works to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.  Read more about the NIP on the WVNPA website! \nJoin us for a joint webinar on February 3rd from 4-5 PM to learn more about the issue and how you can help support the NIP renewal.  \nEmail hilaria@dev.wvnpa.org to register. \nSee how the Wade Center was able to use the NIP Gifts during the Pandemic: \nNIP gifts enabled the Wade Center to keep its doors open during a change in administration while schools adjusted to the COVID-19 pandemic. While the elementary school children who attend our after-school program were at home\, the Wade Center staff implemented arrival\, classroom and departure procedures to ensure social distancing according to state guidelines. A grant enabled us to purchase acrylic table dividers for the classroom\, and we were prepared to welcome our students to a safe learning environment. We also doubled the size of our computer lab so that when schools go all-online or virtual\, we open the Wade Center’s computer lab from 9 am to 1 pm for any Mercer County students who lack internet access at home (over 30% of Bluefield households) by appointment. On those days\, we serve snacks and lunch instead of snacks and dinner. The students shared their report cards with us\, and over 92% made the honor roll. We believe that is testament to the work we’re doing at the Wade Center\, and the NIP funds enabled us to get back up and running.
