If you work at a small nonprofit\, chances are you don’t have money to spend on a graphic designer.Fortunately\, anyone can learn enough of the fundamentals of graphic design to create passable materials on their own. Whether you’re creating visuals for your nonprofit’s communications or know nothing about it and are interested in learning about it\, this series will help you gain knowledge and skills you need create 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. \nDuring this course you will: \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 Thursdays from 1-2:30 PM Eastern. \nDecember 5: The Elements of Design\nYou will begin by learning the ideas behind good design. You will explore how designers use lines\, shapes\, form\, and space as the basic tools for showing depth\, movement\, or other visual ideas. You will learn about the importance of color and how to use it properly. You will see how typography can affect both what the viewer sees and feels within a design. \nDecember 12: Layout in Action\nYou will learn basic principles of graphic layout\, then together we will show you time a design being created in real time\, explaining the thinking and decisions being made during the process. \nDecember 19: Technology Tools\nAdobe InDesign page layout software is the industry standard\, and it’s important that you learn useful tips and tricks for doing basic design work in it.

SUMMARY:Webinar Series: Establishing Tech Policies to Protect Your Nonprofit from Idealware
DESCRIPTION:Three ninety minute webinars\, Thursdays\, March 5 – March 19\, 1-2:30 PM Eastern \nRegular Price: $135\nWVNPA Member Price: $108 (email ashley@dev.wvnpa.org for discount code)\nRegister: http://bit.ly/TechPolicies20 \nClear\, concise policies governing the use of technology can help protect your nonprofit against the risks of scams\, malicious software\, and bad data handling practices. Do you have guidelines in place to ensure appropriate staff use of social media? Does your staff know what to do in the event of a natural disaster such as a flood\, fire\, or ransomware attack? How do you manage staff use of phones or computers that mix personal and work data?If you don’t have written policies—and regular training to ensure that people understand them—your organization may face bigger risks than you think. Over three 90-minute webinars\, we’ll walk you through the questions you should consider as you develop policies to protect your nonprofit. \nThroughout this course\, you will: \n\nIdentify the risks your nonprofit faces and the level of risk with which you’re comfortable.\nAsk yourself important questions about what is and is not acceptable use of organization resources and tools.\nLearn to manage people and data to keep your organization safe from malicious attacks and honest mistakes.\nWalk through the pros and cons of whether staff members should use their personal devices for work.\nConsider the ways you can partner with your staff to protect organization data on personal devices.\nReview what you’ll need to do if your office experiences a major disaster such as flood\, earthquake\, or ransomware.\nGain the knowledge you need to write smart policies to protect constituents\, staff members\, and your organization.\n\nPresented by Expert Trainer Joshua Peskay\nJoshua is Vice President of RoundTable Technology\, a technology service provider in in New York and Maine. He’s been helping nonprofits improve their use of technology since the early 1990’s and has worked with more than 1\,000 organizations. He specializes in helping organizations be strategic about their technology and make smart choices about services\, support\, and management. \nCourse Schedule\nAll sessions take place Thursdays from 1-2:30 PM Eastern. \nMarch 5: Acceptable Use and IT Security\nComputers and office software are so familiar it’s easy to assume that everyone knows what’s OK and what’s not. But that false sense of security can cause a lot of problems. This session will help you develop clear guidelines for what is and is not acceptable on organization devices and networks. We’ll also provide IT security tips to guide your policy so that you’re less likely to fall victim to ransomware and other malicious software. \nMarch 12: Bring Your Own Device Policies\nNonprofits and staff members appreciate the convenience of being able to do work at home or on the road using a personal device. However\, without good policies\, the blurred lines between work and personal life can cause issues and put your data at risk. We’ll discuss what to consider as you develop a policy for that’s fair and protects your organization. \nMarch 19: Disaster Recovery\nThe potential for disaster is everywhere. Hurricane\, flood\, tornado\, earthquake—and those are just the big ones. What will you do if your systems are infected with ransomware or someone accidentally deletes important files? What about if your executive director or top IT staff leaves and takes all of their institutional knowledge (and passwords) with them? We’ll walk you through the potential disasters and guide you through developing a plan that will help you get your organization back up and running as quickly and as safely as possible. \nImportant Information\nIdealware will send the access code and dial-in information for the webinar to the email address you use to register. All registered participants will have access to 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. \nRegister: http://bit.ly/TechPolicies20 (WVNPA Members: email ashley@dev.wvnpa.org for discount code)

SUMMARY:FREE Webinar: Fixing the Rules Governing Government Grants
DESCRIPTION:Governments rely on nonprofit organizations to provide services to individuals at all stages of their lives. Yet\, governments are not always good partners when it comes to reimbursing nonprofits for the costs of providing those services. That could change for the better – and soon. The federal government recently proposed revisions to the primary law governing government grantmaking – the OMB Uniform Guidance – that could result in greater reimbursements for indirect costs\, reduce administrative burdens\, and increase transparency. Many nonprofits are asking: What would these changes mean? Do the revisions go far enough? Is there anything I can do to make things better? Learn more by joining the webinar\, Fixing the Rules Governing Government Grants\, Tuesday\, March 10\, 2020 at 3:00 pm Eastern. This free program is presented by the networks of the National Council of Nonprofits and the National Human Services Assembly. \nSpeakers:\nGil Tran\, U.S. Office of Management and Budget (invited)\nNicole Waldeck\, U.S. Office of Management and Budget (invited)\nAdditional speakers to be announced \nREGISTER HERE

Nonprofit executives and board members often react nervously\, even negatively\, to conversations about succession. If there is a sudden transition in a key leadership role\, lack of succession planning will put missions in danger and organizations at risk. But such transitions also provide opportunities for growth if your organization has a culture of leadership continuity focused on developing the human capital it will need for the future. Third Sector Company and Washington Nonprofits are pleased to offer a three-part webinar series to help your organization build such a culture. At the end\, you’ll have tips and tools to help you start your term with confidence and enthusiasm! \nLearning Outcomes: “The Basics of Nonprofit Succession Planning” will: \n\nFrame succession planning as essential to your organization’s long-term sustainability\nOutline the essential components of an effective succession plan\nPresent five options for beginning your organization’s leadership continuity work\nProvide specific tools and resources to support that work\n\nWho Should Attend: This series is intended for executive directors\, senior staff\, and board members and officers.

It also introduces two important lenses through which succession planning should be viewed: emotion and the relevance of diversity\, inclusion and equity. After completing this session\, you will be able to facilitate generative discussions about leadership continuity\, and prepare in concrete ways for unexpected leadership transitions. \nPart 3: Succession Planning Through Policy\, HR Practice\, and Strategic Planning\nWednesday\, March 25\, 2020 | 3:00pm – 4:00pm Eastern Time\n \nThis session presents the final three options for beginning the succession planning process and invites you to identify which approach you will take to initiate a culture of leadership continuity in your organization.

SUMMARY:FREE Webinar Series: Nonprofit Data for Beginners from Idealware
DESCRIPTION:Three ninety minute webinars\, Thursdays\, May 7 – May 21\, 1-2:30 PM Eastern \nIdealware has now made this series FREE for everyone!\nRegister: https://offers.techimpact.org/nonprofit-data-for-beginners-0 \nThe term “big data” gets used (and misused) a lot\, making it seem scary and expensive. But bigger isn’t always better. When it comes to nonprofits\, gathering the right data—and knowing how to use it—is what matters. Nonprofit Data for Beginners is 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. \nIn this course\, you will:\n• Consider what questions you need your data to answer.\n• Learn how to define your goals and develop processes for collecting your data.\n• Explore the many places where you can find useful data.\n• Learn how to manage your metrics and data so that they remain useful over the long term.\n• Dive into case studies of real organizations using data to make decisions. \nParticipants will be given “homework” assignments that help them to apply what they’re learning to their own work. Participants who send their homework in advance of each session will have the opportunity to be given live feedback. \nPresented by Expert Trainer Eric Leland\nEric Leland has spent the last 15 years working with progressive organizations and businesses tackling online and offline technology challenges. He’s a founding partner of FivePaths (fivepaths.com)\, a technology firm that brings unparalleled strategic technology consulting\, information architecture and web CMS and CRM platform development expertise to each project. Eric is very active in nonprofit\, philanthropy and technology circles\, having served as co-chair to the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network in San Francisco\, on the National Advisory Board\nfor the Addiction Technology Transfer Center\, and as a member of NTEN and the Tech Underground. \nCourse Schedule\nAll sessions take place Thursdays from 1-2:30 PM Eastern. \nMay 7: Asking the Right Questions\nSimply 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. \nMay 14: Hunting Down the Data\nMore 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. \nMay 21: Making Use of Your Data\nIn 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\nsustainable. \nImportant Information\nIdealware will send the access code and dial-in information for the webinar to the email address you use to register. All registered participants will have access to recordings of each session. Participants who cannot attend any of the sessions due to scheduling conflicts will still have\naccess to the course presentation decks and handouts. \nRegister:https://offers.techimpact.org/nonprofit-data-for-beginners-0

SUMMARY:From Common Ground to Congressional Action: Advancing the Universal Charitable Deduction
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, June 2 at 5:00 pm Eastern \n Everyone committed to the work of charitable nonprofits during these uncertain economic times is invited to join six U.S. Senators in a free event in support of expanding the charitable deduction. \nREGISTER NOW \nTuesday\, June 2 at 5:00 pm Eastern \nDuring this pandemic\, charitable nonprofits of all types and missions are stepping up even more in their communities as they struggle simultaneously with rapidly declining revenues. Organizations are experiencing increased costs from skyrocketing demands for their services\, while their revenues have plummeted because they have had to cancel fundraising events and their usual fees\, ticket sales\, membership dues have vanished\, and the capacity of donors to give has plummeted. \n  \nCharitable organizations need resources as soon as possible. Six United States Senators have crossed the partisan divide to find common ground in support of a critically needed solution: the Universal Charitable Deduction: \nSenator Chris Coons (D-Del.) \nSenator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) \nSenator James Lankford (R-Okla.) \nSenator Mike Lee (R-Utah) \nSenator Tim Scott (R-SC) \nSenator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) \nDuring the hour-long presentation\, each Senator will speak to their personal experiences\, share their respect for the work of charitable organizations in their states and across the country\, and give their perspectives on how Congress can strengthen the ability of nonprofits to help relief\, recovery\, and rebuilding during the pandemic crisis and beyond. The Senators will also answer questions and explain what they are doing to enact improved charitable giving incentives THIS YEAR. \nREGISTER NOW \nTuesday\, June 2 at 5:00 pm Eastern \nThis major\, national event is open to charitable nonprofit professionals\, board members\, volunteers\, and all who are committed to helping nonprofits advance their charitable missions. \nThe following organizations are sponsoring this event: \nAmerican Cancer Society Cancer Action Network ¨ American Red Cross ¨ Americans for the Arts ¨ Catholic Charities USA ¨ Council for Advancement and Support of Education ¨ Easterseals ¨ \nFaith and Giving Coalition ¨ Girl Scouts of the USA ¨ Jewish Federations of North America  ¨ National Council of Nonprofits ¨ Salvation Army ¨ United Way Worldwide ¨ \nVolunteers of America ¨ YMCA of the USA

SUMMARY:Webinar: The Organizational Assessment: An Annual Snapshot of a Nonprofit's Performance Potential from Washington Nonprofits
DESCRIPTION:The WVNPA has partnered with Washington Nonprofits to offer some of their programming to our members for a discount. WVNPA Members only pay $20 for this webinar – that’s half price! Email ashley@dev.wvnpa.org for the discount code. \n*NOTE: This webinar series takes place at 3:00 PM EST. (The 12:00 PM time is PST) \n60-minute webinar on Thursday\, June 4\, 2020. \nWVNPA Members: $20\nNonmembers: $40 \nREGISTER HERE \nIt’s a well-known fact that people and organizations are stronger and more grounded in creating their futures when accurate information is the basis for their decision-making. Yet\, as diverse stakeholders are invited into solving problems\, leveraging opportunities\, and charting the future\, many are taking part in conversations that are based on a low-degree of facts and a high-degree of subjectivity. A well-timed and thoughtful assessment is as fundamental to the health and vitality of an organization as a physical examination is for any living thing. The results provide an indication of areas that are functioning as needed and expected. It also can draw attention to processes or systems that may be underperforming or putting the organization’s viability ultimately at risk. \nThis one-hour overview of organizational assessments offers a framework for participants to consider the key elements of a reasonable review and have a discussion within their own association\, congregation or charitable cause about what constitutes reasonable evaluation of the key indicators of their performance. At Third Sector Company\, we believe that the results of an organizational assessment create a foundation for deeper dive evaluations aimed at the chief executive performance review process and an annual board assessment. \nLEARNING OUTCOMES\nYou will leave this course ready to: \n\nConstruct a thoughtful organizational assessment framework\nEngage in a directed conversation with board and management about starting a reasonable organizational assessment process and its value to both management and governance\nCoordinate a timed evaluation culture that creates a synergistic relationship between an organizational assessment and the resulting impact on executive and board performance reviews\n\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND: Board Members\, Nonprofit Staff\, Executive Directors \nABOUT THE PRESENTER: \n \nJeffrey Wilcox\, CFRE\, is President and Chief Mission Advancement Officer for Third Sector Company. Founded in 2002\, it is one of the largest teaching and support organizations for interim executive management and leadership continuity solutions for associations\, congregations and charitable organizations in the country. He is the former Senior Vice President of Community Development for United Way of Greater Los Angeles\, and Valley of the Sun United Way in Phoenix\, Arizona. He is also the former nonprofit columnist for the Long Beach (CA) Business Journal\, founder of “The Board Chairs Academy\,” and author of “The Nonprofit Leader of the New Decade.” He co-developed and is the former lead trainer for the Wells Fargo New Executive Directors Institute of Greater Los Angeles. He is the immediate past chair of the Executive Advisory Board of the School of Business\, Government and Economics at Seattle Pacific University and was named Alumnus of the Year in 2015.
