SUMMARY:FREE Idealware Webinar: What Nonprofits Need to Know About Digital Currency
DESCRIPTION:What does your nonprofit need to know about digital currency? \nEveryone 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? \nIdealware 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. \nModerated 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. \nPanelists 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. \nThanks 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. \nLearn more or register now.

SUMMARY:The Accidental Designer: How to Design Images Like a Pro
DESCRIPTION:Three 90-minute webinars\, Thursdays\, October 25 – November 8 \nRegular Price: $120\nWVNPA Member Price: $95 (email ashley@dev.wvnpa.org for discount code) \nRegister: http://bit.ly/Designer18 \nWe all know this intuitively—websites or flyers that are balanced\, colorful\, and visually interesting get more attention. But if you work at a small nonprofit\, chances are you don’t have much money to spend on a graphic designer. Fortunately\, anyone can learn graphic design. Whether you’re already creating visuals for your nonprofit’s communications or are interested in taking this on\nand know nothing about it\, we can help you gain the knowledge and skills you need to wow your followers with interesting and attractive designs. Join us for a three-week course that will walk you through the fundamentals of design and show you how to get started with the right tools.\n\nDuring this course you’ll:\n\nLearn about theories of line\, shape\, form\, and space.\nExplore the theories behind why colors affect the way we think and feel.\nDiscover the sneaky importance of typography.\nReview layout dos and don’ts.\nLearn a few basic tricks for using Adobe InDesign.\nFind out about low-cost alternatives to InDesign.\n\nCourse Schedule\nAll sessions take place Tuesdays at 1:00 pm Eastern and last for 90 minutes.\n\nOctober 25: The Elements of Design\nWe’ll begin by delving into the ideas behind good design. We’ll explore how designers use lines\, shapes\, form\, and space as the basic tools for showing depth\, movement\, or other visual ideas. We’ll also spend time talking about the importance of color and\n\nhow to use it to achieve the right effect. And we’ll lay out how typography can affect both what the viewer sees and feels within a design. \n\nNovember 1: Layout in Action\nWe’ll start out by talking through some basic principles of graphic layout. Then we’ll takeit a step further and show you in real time a design being created—explaining the thinking and decisions being made during the process.\n\nNovember 8: Technology Tools\nAdobe InDesign is the industry standard and is recommended for anyone creating designs that need to live on beyond the immediate moment. That’s why it’s important that we show you a few useful tricks for doing basic design work in InDesign. However\, there are a number of alternatives that offer similar functionality and many simpler tools that are free and easy to use. We’ll spend some time reviewing those tools and discussing their strengths and weaknesses.\n\nPlease register with the email address where you would like to receive the accesscode and dial-in information for the online seminar.\nAll registered participants are granted access to the recordings of each session. Participants who cannot attend any of the sessions due to scheduling conflicts will still have access to the course presentation decks and handouts.\n\nAbout Idealware\nIdealware\, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit\, provides thoroughly researched\, impartial and accessible resources about technology to help nonprofits make smart technology decisions.\n\nRegister: http://bit.ly/Designer18

SUMMARY:How to Get Your Technology Funded: Tips from Grantmakers
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays\, November 29–December 13\n1:00–2:30 PM Eastern\nRegular Price: $120\nWVNPA Member Price: $95 (email ashley@dev.wvnpa.org for discount code!)\nRegister: https://www.idealware.org/training/techfunding/ \n\nImagine doing your job without a computer or any software. Ridiculous\, right? Yet many funders overlook technology. The result is a nonprofit sector that is slowed down by outdated and ineffective tools. But there’s hope. Funders aren’t against technology—they just want to know that investing in your technology needs will lead to better outcomes. That’s why we’re offeringthis three-part course. We want to show you how to convince funders that your tech projects matter so that you have the tools you need to do your best work. During this course\, you’ll hear directly from funders about what they look for in a technology proposal and what it takes to make your technology needs stand out.\n\nWe’ll start out by helping you set the stage for funding your project by zeroing in on your potential funders. Then you’ll get the chance to ask our panel of grantmakers your own questions during a moderated discussion. And we’ll wrap up by talking about the practical steps for moving forward and getting the funding you deserve\, including how to contextualize your project to show how important it is to your organization\, how to budget for future technology\, and additional details that go into writing a strong proposal.\n\nCourse Schedule\nAll sessions take place Thursdays at 1 pm Eastern and last for 90 minutes.\n\nNovember 29: Setting the Stage for Funding\nWe’ll start by helping you sort out your funding options to identify the best opportunities for technology funding.\nWould your current foundation funders be a good fit? Would corporations? What about other major donors? You’ll then hear from the experts—actual funding decision makers—who will explain how technology projects can support their goals as philanthropic organizations. \n\nDecember 6: Ask a Funder\nThrough a moderated discussion\, we’ll ask your biggest questions directly to several grantmaking professionals who frequently evaluate technology proposals. Participants will be able to submit their questions in advance and our moderator will ask as many as possible during the 60 -minute session. Sample questions might include:\n\nWhat makes a technology proposal stand out from others?\nWhat issues do you see over and over?\nWhat makes your non-techie colleagues react positively or negatively toward a technology proposal?\nIf you had one piece of advice to someone seeking funding for a technology project\, what would it be?\n\n\nDecember 13:Defining the Details for a Strong Proposal\nOnce you’ve gotten advice from grantmakers\, how should you proactively move forward? We’ll talk about what details need to be included in a strong technology proposal\, including how to frame your project\, how to connect your project to your larger mission\,\nhow to draft a budget\, and how to think through where this project fits within your larger technology ecosystem.\n\n*Please register with the email address where you would like to receive the access code and dial-in information for the online seminar. All registered participants are granted access to the recordings of each session. \n*Participants who cannot attend any of the sessions due to scheduling conflicts will still have access to the course presentation \ndecks and handouts.\n\nOur Expert Trainer\nLaura Quinn is an independent consultant\, specializing in research for the philanthropic sector and building the capacity of nonprofit networks. Prior to her consulting work\, Laura founded Idealware and served as the Executive Director for nine years. Under her leadership\, Idealware partnered with dozens of national organizations\, such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation\, William and Flora Hewlett Foundation\, the Legal Services Corporation\, and many more to conduct research into technology topics\, from tactical interview-based articles to rigorously researched software comparisons to ecosystemlevel infrastructural analyses.

With so many features and pricing plans to sort through\, how do you choose the right system for your organization? Over three sessions in January\, Idealware Expert Trainer Eric Leland will teach you how to evaluate your organization’s needs\, assemble a software selection team\, sort through your options\, review and test the software\, and manage a smooth implementation. If your organization is considering switching software or bringing on a new system in the next six months\, you’ll save a lot of time\, money\, and headaches if you take the time now to think through the process and develop a plan.

From there we’ll look at the selection process and lay the groundwork for a thoughtful plan. \nJanuary 24: Evaluating Your Choices and Closing the Deal\nOnce you’ve planned your process\, it’s time to start learning about your different choices and comparing them against your needs. This session will show you what to look for as you evaluate your options and will talk you through each stage as you move closer to closing the deal. \nJanuary 31: Your New System in Action\nThe real work begins after you sign the contract. In this session\, we’ll walk you through each of the major stages as you implement your system and onboard it with your staff. \nOther Info\nParticipants will also be given weekly homework assignments.

SUMMARY:FREE Webinar: The Landscape of Project Management Tools for Nonprofits from Idealware
DESCRIPTION:FREE\, Thursday\, February 14\, 1-2 PM Eastern.  \nREGISTER HERE\nWhen you think of project management\, do you think of a series of processes and best practices employed to keep staff and projects on schedule and on budget? Or do you think of a piece of software used for similar goals?\nThe fact is\, project management is a discipline that includes both best practices and tools—some as simple as a paper checklist or spreadsheet\, and some incredibly powerful and complex pieces of software that help plan\, organize\, collaborate\, track\, and share progress across multiple teams. \nJoin us on Thursday\, February 14\, as we present findings from our new report\, The Landscape of Project Management Tools for Nonprofits. We’ll look at the wide range of software on the marketplace to get a better sense of what these systems are capable of\, what they cost\, and how effective they are for nonprofits. We’ll also look at how various types of tools are used to manage projects\, and how to choose the software that works best for your organization. \nJoshua Peskay\, our project management expert\, will be leading this conversation. Joshua is an expert trainer for Idealware and Vice President of RoundTable Technology\, a technology service provider in New York and Maine. Joshua has been helping nonprofit organizations improve their use of technology since the early 1990s and has worked with more than 1\,000 organizations.
