SUMMARY:WVNPA Webinar: Grantwriting and the 80/20 Rule
DESCRIPTION:Do you spend more time writing or planning your grant applications? One reason many people find grant writing so frustrating or overwhelming is because they haven’t spent enough time planning how to present their programs before they begin the writing process. The 90 minute webinar will teach you how to manage your grant seeking process so that 80% of your time is spent planning a strong application and only 20% is required for writing the application. Alice Ruhnke will discuss how to use her planning tool so that all parts of your application are coherent\, well-developed\, and connected. Once you begin using this system\, you time spent preparing applications will be shortened! This webinar is for new and intermediate grant writers. \nAbout the Presenter: \nAlice Ruhnke is the founder and owner of The Grant Advantage\, a progressive\, innovative consulting business devoted to helping organizations unleash their strengths to embrace tomorrow’s opportunities. Located in Charleston\, West Virginia\, The Grant Advantage offers grant writing and editing services\, funding searches\, qualitative evaluation\, program development\, Appreciative Inquiry facilitation\, and workshops\, trainings and webinars.  Over the past decade\, Alice has worked with hundreds of nonprofit organizations to help them increase their organizational capacity and secure funding. She has raised over $7 million writing federal\, state\, foundation\, and corporate grants and has been in charge of awarding and monitoring federal funds to nonprofit organizations throughout West Virginia. If Alice is not at her computer writing\, she can usually be found facilitating trainings for individuals and organizations. Alice received both her Bachelor of Science degree in Human Development and Family Relations and Master of Arts degree in Education/Counseling Psychology from the University of Connecticut. \nContinuing Education Credits: \nWVU School of Social Work Continuing Education Certificate in Nonprofit Management – 1.5 hours Core Area Resource Development: Category 1 – Grant Writing \nFor those registering online\, we apply an 8.5% convenience fee to cover the processing cost of providing this service to you.

SUMMARY:Building Bridges for Community Impact - Beckley
DESCRIPTION:If you joined us at one of the regional meetings last spring or have been involved in any of the “What’s next for WV” conversations\, you know about the many issues facing our communities and the nonprofit sector here in West Virginia. In order to achieve our goals for successful community collaboration\, we must work together and build bridges for collective impact. Organizations that are part of a collective network can leverage resources and knowledge to build bridges more effectively than those that “go it alone.” The collective network expands opportunities for learning and problem solving\, accelerates innovative approaches\, and creates a web of resources that yield more sustainable and effective solutions to community problems. \n—————————————————- \nThe Building Bridges for Community Impact regional workshop will engage participants in interactive learning experiences to increase understanding\, capacity and action around regional collaboration. Participants will better understand the importance of collaboration in general and specifically leveraging new partnerships to reach common desired outcomes and gain support from funders. The session will address the following: \n\nNuts and bolts of collaboration\nImportance of working together\nThe “collective impact” approach\nPrioritizing regional strategies\nVisioning for future impact\nEngaging in collaborative team work throughout the region\n\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND: Staff and volunteers of nonprofit organizations interested or involved in community change. \nFACILITATOR: \nBruce E. Decker\, founder and owner of Collective Impact\, LLC\, is a skilled strategic planner\, trainer\, community coach\, technical assistant\, leader and facilitator. For nearly 20 years\, he has provided capacity building consulting services for a broad range of clients at the local\, regional\, and state level. Bruce has demonstrated expertise in organizational and community capacity building\, system analysis and improvement\, service coordination and integration\, and cross-system networking and collaboration. Bruce is proficient at building relationships among diverse groups of people with the natural ability to inspire confidence\, trust\, and mutual respect.  He was a founding board member of the West Virginia Community Development Hub\, a nonprofit organization focused on supporting communities in their development and revitalization efforts.  Bruce is currently Board chair with Create Huntington\, a grassroots organization that empowers residents to make positive change in their community. He participated with the City of Huntington\, West Virginia in the Community Progress Leadership Institute (CPLI) at Harvard University.  Bruce received his Master of Arts in Communication Studies with an emphasis in Organizational and Intercultural Communication and Leadership Studies from Marshall University. He received his Bachelor of Arts in Education from Marshall as well with a dual concentration in Marketing Education and Social Studies\, a specialized certification in Diversified Cooperative Training with a focus on Entrepreneurship. \nPRESENTER: \nJake Lynch is the Director of Network Communications at the West Virginia Community Development Hub. Jake Lynch joined the Hub in 2015 following a 15-year career in community journalism and nonprofit communications.  West Virginia’s trail and recreation community may know Jake from his previous role with Rails-to-Trails Conservancy\, where from 2010 until 2014 he led the national trail development organization’s media and marketing efforts.  Telling the stories of America’s trail communities was a natural progression from his work as a journalist and newspaper editor here in the United States and in his native Australia.  At The Hub\, Jake’s experience in tapping into what interests and motivates community members and leaders is being put to good use in our efforts to generate a broad and powerful narrative about the terrific community development work being done in West Virginia.  Jake’s focus is very much on boosting the communications capacity of the wide network of Hub partners across the state and creating new and innovative ways to help the community development sector use communications to expand their impact. \nContinuing Education Credits: \nWVU School of Social Work Continuing Education Certificate in Nonprofit Management – 1.25 hour Service Provision – Core Area – Program/Organizational Design & Evaluation\, 1.25 hours Electives/Special Topics\, 2.5 hours Service Provision – Core Area – Program/Organizational Design & Evaluation or  Core Area Service Provision – Rural Community Service \nSPONSORS:\n \n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:WVNPA Webinar: How To Fly the COOP and Regroup
DESCRIPTION:Do you know what to do when a disaster or emergency impacts your organization? Impacts your services or place of operations? Learn how to plan for all types of emergencies to keep your organization up and running and serving the community. Did you know that 25% of organizations do not reopen following a major disaster?

SUMMARY:Government Grant Reforms: What Nonprofits Need to Know to Be Reimbursed for Indirect Costs - Morgantown
DESCRIPTION:This is a free training for nonprofits on OMB Uniform Guidance. \nGood news came to nonprofits in December 2014\, when the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published the Uniform Guidance governing government grants and contracts for nonprofits that receive federal grant funds\, either directly or passed through state and local entities. Among many changes in the rules\, governments are now required to reimburse nonprofits for reasonable indirect grant and contract costs (also called “overhead”—but you’ll find out why that’s inaccurate) when federal dollars are part of the funding stream—even when the federal money first passes through state and local governments. Since most state and local grants and contracts contain federal money\, the benefit for nonprofits can be substantial.\nBeth Bowsky\, Policy Specialist\, Government-Nonprofit Contracting at the National Council of Nonprofits and one of the country’s leading experts and advocacy voices on this issue\, will provide a hands-on review of key elements of the new Guidance and how your organization can start benefiting from these rules. \nWorkshop Highlights:\n•    Indirect\, Overhead and Administrative Costs – Definitions and Difference\n•    Understanding the Costs in Your Nonprofit\n•    Indirect Cost Rates and Different Methodologies\n•    Whether and How to Negotiate a Federal Indirect Cost Rate\n•    Public policy implications\n•    And more \nWho Should Attend?\n•     Nonprofit executive directors and CFOs with state or federal grants/contracts and any nonprofit staff with responsibility for budgeting\, accounting\, or grant/contract compliance. \nPresenter: Beth Bowsky is the Policy Specialist for Government-Nonprofit Contracting at the National Council of Nonprofitd (NCN) where she manages the NCN’s program to promote fairer and simpler contracting processes and procedures across the country. Beth has a passion for convening diverse groups of people from the public and private sectors to expand the capacity of charitable nonprofits to deliver better services and value. Her career in the nonprofit arena began while she was earning a degree in social work at the University of Cincinnati. She was one of the youngest people in Ohio to become executive director of a multi-service\, nonprofit agency\, and served as Chair of Public Policy for the Ohio Association of Child Caring Agencies. Beth’s work as president of her own consulting firm included helping the Ohio Children’s Trust Fund reorganize and streamline collaborative funding efforts in each of the state’s 88 counties. As a National Leadership Consultant for Arlington\, Va.-based National Alliance On Mental Illness (NAMI)\, Beth assisted state organizations across the country build and implement strategic plans for growth\, governance\, and advocacy\, while also serving as a speaker and trainer at state and national conventions. \n  \n\n\n\n\nThe OMB Uniform Guidance Training is approved for 3 CECNPM. This is up on the CECNPM website where CECNPM participants can get their reporting form.

SUMMARY:WVNPA Webinar: An Alternative to State Unemployment Insurance with Thornburg Insurance and First Nonprofit
DESCRIPTION:Almost all employers are required to pay State Unemployment Insurance (SUI).
