Does your technology need major upgrades? Where do you start and how do you get the job done on time and on budget? This course will help you spot your organization’s critical technology needs and develop a practical plan for improving your technology
infrastructure even if you don’t have a tech background. Over five weeks you’ll prepare for class by viewing eLearning modules that cover common nonprofit technology needs and complete worksheets designed to help youmake key decisions. Then, once a week, an Expert Trainer will work with you to present additional information, answer your questions, and build on your knowledge. You’ll also have opportunities to share your experiences and learn from peers who are facing the same challenges. If you do the homework each week, you will graduate with a written, prioritized technology plan that you share with your colleagues, board, and funders.

Throughout this course, you will:

Learn about the tactical planning process and pick up tips for getting started at your organization.
Review nonprofit infrastructure needs including office hardware, data backup, software, and staff IT support.
Consider data management technology and best practices.
Think through the mix of communications at your organization and how to get real value from your communications work.
Gain insights and feedback from an expert trainer who can address your organization’s unique needs.
Share ideas and experiences and learn from your peers.
Prioritize your technology needs and develop a long term plan for implementing them.

September 27: Database Systems

To kick off this session, you’ll watch videos that help you consider your options for managing your data.

You’ll gain access to videos where we’ll walk you through the “SMART” communications goals and help you gain a solid foundation for planning your website, broadcast emails, social media, and how to weave them all together. Then we’ll get together and talk about
how to prioritize your communications and share successful strategies that you can apply to your organization.
October 11: Completing Your Action Plan
This final session is dedicated to helping you complete your action plan so that you’re ready to put your new knowledge to work right away.

FREE Idealware Webinar: What Nonprofits Need to Know About Digital Currency
2018-06-07 13:00 - 14:00
What does your nonprofit need to know about digital currency?
Everyone seems to be talking about Bitcoin and other digital currencies, but aside from making guesses, few people seem to have any idea about what kind of role they will play in the future—and even fewer know what they might mean for nonprofits. Will they affect how you solicit and accept donations and payments? Do they make sense as an investment? What do you need to know now to make sure you’re not left behind?
Idealware partnered with GuideStar, the world’s largest source of information on nonprofit organizations, to help nonprofit leaders understand what they need to know in order to evaluate whether digital currency is worth their attention. Join this free webinar from 1-2 PM on Thursday, June 7, to take part in this conversation.
Moderated by Evan Paul, VP of Products at Guidestar, this panel discussion will explore how Bitcoin and other currencies affect nonprofits, what the risks and benefits are, and what you need in place in terms of technologies, policies, and procedures in order to accept digital currency. They’ll also talk about what responsibilities nonprofits have to educate constituents about the advantages and risks of digital currency.
Panelists are Jesus Pizarro, VP of Financial Innovation at Heifer International; Nandini Harihareswara, Digital Ecosystem Broker at the United Nations Capital Development Fund; and Paul Lamb, Principal of Man on a Mission Consulting.
Thanks to the generosity of sponsor Blackbaud, this webinar is free. Is it the revolution some enthusiasts claim, or just a passing fad? Don’t miss out.

March 8-29, 1pm Eastern
To most people, data by itself is just a bunch of numbers. But infographics have become increasingly popular because they are visual, shareable, and have the power to inform and inspire. Turn your data into a memorable story with a strong impact. Join us for Visual Storytelling: The Complete Infographic Toolkit for Nonprofits, a four-week course starting on March 8 that will show you how to read your data, find the story in it, get the tools and help you need, build it from scratch, and learn from your peers.

Infographics with attractive images and compelling data can reach a big audience. They give your data the power to rally support, inspire action, and drive impact. Tap into your data’s potential to create change with Visual Storytelling: The Complete Infographic Toolkit for Nonprofits. Over four Thursdays starting March 8, Idealware will help you see what kinds of data are best translated into infographics and find the stories hidden in the numbers. We’ll also walk you through the practical steps of creating and using your infographic and look at examples of how other organizations created successful infographics. And best of all, we’ll help you develop your own infographic that you can begin using right away.
Throughout the course, you will:

Identify what you hope to accomplish with an infographic and the ways you want to use it.

Then we’ll get down to the details of where to look for data or how to create data that might make a compelling infographic.
March 15: How to Find the Story in Your Data
Data without a story is just a series of attractive numbers and graphs. We’ll discuss how to analyze your data to figure out whether you have a story and how to craft the right story for your organization’s needs.
March 22: Create Your Own Infographic
This session will help you move beyond theory and start developing an infographic of your own. We’ll guide you along the way by showing you what kind of infographic is likely to work best, visualization best practices, and tools you can use to start building.
March 29: What it Takes to Complete the Job
There are a lot of practical steps to completing an infographic. Beyond gathering information and developing a story, you also need a graphic designer who understands your concept and has the talent to both translate it into imagery and graphics and make it visually appealing. And once you create your infographic, you need a strategy for how to distribute and promote it. We’ll review some of the logistical aspects of creating an infographic to help you get started with a solid footing.

He will also offer steps for creating more sustainable personal and organizational mindsets and practices for helpers.

Join us for Visual Storytelling: The Complete Infographic Toolkit for Nonprofits, a four-week course starting on March 8 that will show you how to read your data, find the story in it, get the tools and help you need, build it from scratch, and learn from your peers. Read on to learn more.

Infographics with attractive images and compelling data can reach a big audience. They give your data the power to rally support, inspire action, and drive impact. Tap into your data’s potential to create change with Visual Storytelling: The Complete Infographic Toolkit for Nonprofits. Over four Thursdays starting March 8, Idealware will help you see what kinds of data are best translated into infographics and find the stories hidden in the numbers. We’ll also walk you through the practical steps of creating and using your infographic and look at examples of how other organizations created successful infographics. And best of all, we’ll help you develop your own infographic that you can begin using right away.
Throughout the course, you will:

Identify what you hope to accomplish with an infographic and the ways you want to use it.
Learn techniques for finding useful data—both public and within your own organization.
Learn how to translate your data into a compelling story.
Review tools that can help you create your infographic.
Consider visual techniques and strategies to display your information.
Walk through the practical considerations from concept to completion.
Explore the communications opportunities an infographic creates.
Walk away with a simple infographic you can use to help your organization start a conversation or promote a cause.

Toolkit Schedule:
All sessions take place Thursdays at 1 pm Eastern and last for 90 minutes.
March 8: Defining Your Goals and Finding Your Data
It all starts with data and the impact you think it can have. We’ll kick off this session talking about who you’re trying to reach and how an infographic might support your organization’s goals. Then we’ll get down to the details of where to look for data or how to create data that might make a compelling infographic.
March 15: How to Find the Story in Your Data
Data without a story is just a series of attractive numbers and graphs. We’ll discuss how to analyze your data to figure out whether you have a story and how to craft the right story for your organization’s needs.
March 22: Create Your Own Infographic
This session will help you move beyond theory and start developing an infographic of your own. We’ll guide you along the way by showing you what kind of infographic is likely to work best, visualization best practices, and tools you can use to start building.
March 29: What it Takes to Complete the Job
There are a lot of practical steps to completing an infographic. Beyond gathering information and developing a story, you also need a graphic designer who understands your concept and has the talent to both translate it into imagery and graphics and make it visually appealing. And once you create your infographic, you need a strategy for how to distribute and promote it. We’ll review some of the logistical aspects of creating an infographic to help you get started with a solid footing.

Nonprofit Data for Beginners
2018-02-22 13:00 - 14:30, 2018-02-15 13:00 - 14:30
Three 90-minute webinars, Thursdays February 8, 15, and 22.
To make smart decisions about the future of your organization, you need a clear understanding of your organization’s activities and the outcomes they achieve. But where can you find the data and how do you make sense of it all? Nonprofit Data for Beginners, presented in partnership with Idealware, is a three-week course that will show you how to ask important questions, find the right data, and use the information to strengthen your organization.
Regular Cost: $120

The term “big data” gets used (and misused) a lot, making it seem scary and expensive. But bigger isn’t always better. Gathering the right data—and knowing how to use it—is what matters.
Join us for Nonprofit Data for Beginners, a three-week course designed to help you ask the right questions, find the data you need, and use your data to strengthen your organization.
Through participation in this course, you will:

Consider what questions you need your data to answer.
Learn how to define your goals and develop processes for collecting your data.
Explore the many places where you can find useful data.
Learn how to manage your metrics and data so that they remain useful over the long term.
Dive into case studies of real organizations using data to make decisions.

Toolkit Schedule:
All sessions take place Wednesday at 1 pm Eastern and last for 90 minutes.
February 8: Asking the Right Questions
Simply collecting data is not enough. Deciding early on what you will do with that data—and why you want it in the first place—will help you to define goals and approaches. We’ll talk through how to define your organization’s own data-based metrics strategy from the ground up.
February 15: Hunting Down the Data
More often than not, the most useful data won’t be found already neatly laid out in a spreadsheet. You might find extremely valuable data in handwritten staff notes, in multiple software systems, or public repositories. We’ll discuss where different data can live, which sources of data might be useful, and where and how you can collect it to be ready for analysis.
February 22: Making Use of Your Data
In the final course, we will discuss the various ways you will need to manage and use the data you’ve collected. We’ll consider the logistics of entering, storing, and maintaining your data. We’ll also look at how to develop an action plan that ensures your data program is useful and sustainable.
Other Info:
Participants will also be given weekly “homework” assignments.

WVNPA Webinar: New FASB Rules - An Overview of Changes to Preparing Nonprofit Financial Statements
2018-01-31 11:00 - 12:00
FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) recently released ASU 2016-14, Presentation of Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Entities, with the goal of improving not-for-profit entity financial statements to provide more useful information to donors, grantors, creditors and other financial statement users. The ASU significantly changes how not-for-profits present net assets on the face of the financial statements, as well as requires additional disclosures for expenses by nature and function and for the liquidity and availability of resources. Since this represents the first major change to not-for-profit financial statement preparation since the mid-1990’s, gaining an understanding of the new requirements is critical for not-for-profit operations. This webinar provides a high-level summary of ASU 2016-14 to assist your organization’s team in understanding these fundamental changes to accounting standards.
