SUMMARY:Make Friends with Funders
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is offered by GrantStation.\n\nWednesday\, February 16th\, 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM ET\nRegistration Fee: $69 for individual or $149 for a group (2-10 individuals)  \nREGISTER NOW\n\nWhat every grantmaker wants you to know before you push “SUBMIT”! \nMake no mistake about it: Grantseeking is a people-driven process. And key to your success is the grantmakers themselves—the people who make the decisions about awards from corporate\, foundation\, and government sources. But who are these people? How do we connect with them? And what do they want from us\, anyway? \nBeing a grantmaker isn’t as easy as you might think. In this lively session\, veteran grantmaker Maryn Boess pulls from her own grantmaking experience (and that of dozens of other private and public program officers\, reviewers\, and decision-makers) to give you a realistic\, behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to create funder relationships that are authentic\, high-integrity . . . and that work for you. \nWe’ll pull back the curtain on the realities of life as a grantmaker—and what your proposal is really up against “on the other side.” You’ll learn what grantmakers love\, what makes them grumpy—and how you can be sure you’re delivering what they really\, really want\, every time! \nYour Big Takeaways: \n\nKnow what grantmakers really want most of all in the whole wide world—as organizations and as individuals.\nKnow what it means to “think through the grantmaker’s eyes”—and understand the reality of challenges that program officers and review teams face in their decision-making.\nKnow the “Four Keys to Persuasive Proposals”—and how each connects with the reader’s own personal sense of purpose.\nThrough a role-play exercise\, learn by first-hand experience how a proposal makes a good or bad first impression in just a few seconds—and why.\nLearn about the three Powerhouse Proposal Sections that must pull their own weight—and then some!—for your proposal to work.\nUnderstand the principle of limited mental energy and how it applies to the choices we make in crafting our proposals.\n\n\n\nDate\nWednesday\, February 16\, 2022 – 2 PM EST\n\n\nDuration\n90 Minutes\n\n\nQuestions? Call\n1-877-784-7268.\n\n\nPolicies\n\nYou will receive two GrantStation emails: \n1. A copy of your paid invoice\n2. A confirmation email for the webinar with the login credentials \nIf you do not receive the confirmation email within 48 hours of registering\, please email or call 1-877-784-7268. \nGrantStation does not refund registration fees. Fees may be applied to any webinar scheduled within 30 days. \nAll webinars are recorded. \nAbout the Presenter: \nMaryn Boess\n\nOver her 25+-year nonprofit career\, Maryn Boess has been an on-staff grantwriter; a grants consultant (winning $42 million for her clients over ten years); a grants trainer; a grants reviewer\, author\, speaker\, mentor and coach; and – since 2006 – even a grantmaker. This 3-D background brings a unique insider’s perspective to the practical\, inspiring trainings on healthy\, successful grantsmanship she shares with thousands of people each year through GrantsMagic U.

SUMMARY:Trauma Informed Nonprofit Leadership
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is offered by GrantStation.\n\nWednesday\, February 9th\, 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM ET\nRegistration Fee: $69 for one\, $149 for a group (2-10 people) \nREGISTER NOW\n\nHow Nonprofit Leaders Effectively Manage Trauma-Affected Organizations \nWhile there is a thriving literature on “secondary trauma” in clinical psychology\, social work\, and stress management\, little is still known about how secondary trauma emerges in nonprofit organizations. Also known as “vicarious trauma” or “compassion fatigue\,” secondary trauma refers to an emotional state in which an individual (e.g.\, a staff person or volunteer) experiences the pain\, sadness\, distress\, or other negative emotion of a second individual (e.g.\, an organizational client). For instance\, a counselor listens to the reactions of a client to traumatic situations\, which indirectly produce distress and traumatization in the counselor. Think second-hand smoke: the client transmits\, through emotional contagion\, their trauma to the nonprofit staff member. The staff member\, in turn\, experiences some of the same effects of trauma as the client: stress\, burnout\, difficulty trusting others\, and disillusionment with society. In the case of the staff person\, this erosion of trust and disillusionment can extend to the organization if secondary trauma is not carefully managed. \nBased on Dr. Anthony Silard’s research with over 150 secondary-trauma-affected nonprofit executive directors\, staff\, and volunteers\, in this session you will learn how secondary trauma emerges in nonprofit organizations. You will then learn how you\, as a nonprofit leader\, can guide a high-performance organization into the future by interacting with secondary-trauma-affected team members so they can both make sense of and find meaning in their trauma and retain their productivity. \nYou will be able to: \n\nidentify the role of secondary trauma in nonprofit organizations;\nunderstand how to manage secondary-trauma-affected staff and volunteers;\ndistinguish the intrapersonal and organizational outcomes of secondary trauma in nonprofit organizations;\ndevelop strategies for detecting and responding to secondary trauma; and\,\ndiscuss the potential benefits of secondary trauma to individual and organizational development.\n\nThis seminar will utilize break out rooms and other interactive features.  Please be prepared and make sure your microphone and camera are in working order. \n  \n\n\nDate\nThursday\, February 17\, 2022 – 2 PM EST\n\n\nDuration\n90 Minutes\n\n\nQuestions? Call\n1-877-784-7268.\n\n\nPolicies\n\nYou will receive two GrantStation emails: \n1. A copy of your paid invoice\n2.

Often\, managers are left on their own to try and figure out how to implement their supervisor duties. Unskilled supervision can create organizational cultures that are ineffective at best\, and “toxic” at worst.

You will receive with tools and ideas that you can immediately implement. \nThis is a six-hour virtual training spread over three two-hour sessions\, March 22\, 23\, and 24 from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. each day. \nTopics\n•    Cultivating self-awareness and emotional intelligence\n•    Understanding privilege and power in your supervisor role\n•    Holding difficult conversations\n•    Six essential skills of supervision\n•    Coach approach to supervision \nLearning Objectives\n•    Better understand the competencies of the supervisor role and have improved confidence in implementing the role\n•    Cultivate self-awareness and accountability for avoiding toxic behaviors in the work place\n•    Increase comfort at holding a range of conversations\, including developmental feedback\n•    Learn strategies for helping employees solve their own challenges\n•    Build awareness of when to use coaching in the supervisor role\n•    Receive an introduction to the fundamental components of coaching – listening and inquiry \nAbout the Speaker\nLisa Negstad consults with a diverse clientele of nonprofits\, philanthropies\, and government in leadership and organizational development.
