Learn how to take advantage of newly announced improvements to federal grantmaking processes
The federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) recently announced significant revisions to the Uniform Guidance that promise big, long-sought changes in how organizations access grant funding at the federal, state, and local levels. For many nonprofits, this will mean easier application and reporting processes, better funding for indirect costs/overhead, and much more.
The networks of the National Council of Nonprofits are hosting a free webinar with OMB officials Deidre Harrison and Steven P. Mackey and additional experts to discuss these historic revisions, implementation timelines, and real-life implications for charitable nonprofits.
Why the changes matter
The newly released rewrite addresses longstanding problems in government grants not fully covering nonprofits’ actual costs, advances equity by making grants accessible to more organizations and communities, and makes other significant reforms that will reduce bureaucratic barriers and burdens. They also reduce costs of seeking, performing, and reporting on grants using federal funds.
Who should attend this webinar
Regardless of the size of your nonprofit and whether your organization manages scores of grants or has never received grants from governments, every nonprofit will benefit from attending this webinar. As for who, any and everyone in your organization dedicated to the impact and sustainability of your mission, especially people serving in any of the following roles:

Executive Director/CEO
CFO
Development/Fundraising Directors
Grant Managers
Program Leads

How to Keep Charitable Nonprofits and Houses of Worship Protected from Partisan Politics
2025-08-26 15:00 - 16:00 | Webinar, WV, United States
This webinar is hosted by the National Council of Nonprofits.
August 26th, 3:00 – 4:00 PM
Registration Fees: FREE
REGISTRATION
Register today to join the National Council of Nonprofits for a national webinar on Tuesday, August 26 at 3:00 pm Eastern to learn more about efforts to undermine federal protections for charitable nonprofits, including houses of worship, against partisan politics and the dark money that fuels it.
Without this protection, politicians may try to pressure charitable nonprofits to endorse their election campaigns, exert control over nonprofit organizations’ mission and the services they provide, and funnel tax-exempt charitable donations to their election war chest. These efforts could radically alter campaign finance laws to benefit politicians at the expense of charities, houses of worship, and foundations, severely damaging the integrity and effectiveness of the entire sector and our elections.
Speakers will discuss why it is critical for charitable nonprofits, including religious organizations, to remain nonpartisan and how nonprofits can take action to ensure these vital institutions remain a trusted space where people can come together across political, religious, and cultural divides to solve local problems.
Please note that each registration is unique and will allow only one login to the webinar. If you utilize an automated AI note-taking app, you may run into issues if that AI note-taker logs in before you do.

REGISTRATION

Description:
Successful organizations create complete grants management systems that transform one-time awards into lasting funder relationships and reliable revenue streams. Instead of treating each proposal as a standalone effort, they develop a comprehensive grant program that is strategic, repeatable, and sustainable.
If every new grant often feels like starting from scratch, it’s time to move away from a piecemeal approach and shift to a streamlined grants management strategy that positions your organization for long-term success.
During this webinar, Hannah Wiginton will share a proven grants management process that goes beyond writing individual proposals and instead creates a coordinated strategy to build sustainable funding relationships. You’ll be guided through each phase of the process—from assessing your organization’s readiness and researching funders to writing proposals, managing awards, fulfilling reporting requirements, stewarding funder relationships, and tracking grants data—giving you a complete view of effective grants management.
You’ll learn:

how to build a comprehensive grants management process using seven essential components;
how to conduct effective grant research and leverage past successes;
how to establish clear and consistent internal communication and collaboration;
best practices for developing strong proposals and managing reporting requirements; and,
strategies for building a consistent cadence of long-term funder stewardship.

You’ll leave with practical systems and tools you can implement to strengthen and streamline your grants process.
Who should attend:
This session is designed with beginners in mind. Whether you’re building your first grants program or looking to improve an existing one, this training will give you a clearer, more strategic approach to securing and managing grant funding.
After the webinar, you’ll receive:

slides and handouts; and,
a link to the webinar recording.

Description:
Custom AI tools such as GPTs (from ChatGPT) and GEMS (from Gemini) can transform how you manage your workload. Well-developed tools can help in a wide variety of domains—from writing grants and donor communications to analyzing data.
During this practical workshop, Alice Ruhnke and David Gates, will show you how to create your own AI “assistants” that reflect your organization’s voice, goals, and structure. We’ll explore best practices for building custom AI tools that can save time and build capacity.
You’ll learn:

how to create a Custom GPT or GEM to streamline key tasks such as grantwriting and donor development;
the types of knowledge that are most helpful to upload to ensure accurate outputs;
how to test and refine your GPT’s outputs;
ways you can share GPTs across your organization; and,
best practices for governance, updates, and privacy settings.

Whether you’re developing a GPT to help with common writing tasks or want to build a tool to streamline your evaluation process, this session will provide you with the frameworks to get started.
Who should attend:
This session is beginner-friendly, but you’ll get the most out of it if you’ve already started experimenting with AI tools like ChatGPT. While you don’t need a paid ChatGPT account to attend, many of the features and best practices we’ll cover involve features that require a paid subscription.

Registration Fees: $89 per person or $199 for 2-10 people
REGISTRATION

Description:
Do you manage grants (federal and otherwise) that require highly specific reporting line items that don’t match your current chart of accounts? Many government and reimbursement-based grants demand a level of detail that QuickBooks Online (QBO) users often find difficult to achieve using standard reports.
If you find yourself spending hours manually converting your QBO financials into the custom categories your grantors require, this webinar is for you. Join Gregg Bossen for this advanced session where he will walk you through using Items (also known as Products/Services in QBO) to build Profit & Loss reports by grant that align precisely with your grantor’s reporting or reimbursement format. Best of all, you can do this while keeping your familiar chart of accounts intact for board reporting and internal use.
You’ll learn how to:

set up custom line items in QBO that mirror your grantor’s required budget and reporting categories;
record grant revenue and expenses using these line items and assign them to the appropriate grant;
enter a grant-specific budget using these line items instead of your standard accounts;
generate grant-specific reports that match your funder’s required format; and,
use the billable feature in QBO to generate reimbursement invoices automatically.

Who should attend:
This is an advanced-level webinar. Come prepared to dive deep, ask questions, and have some fun along the way!
