SUMMARY:New Accounting for Leases in 2022: The Change is HERE!!!!
DESCRIPTION:This session is offered by the QuickBooks Made Easy for Nonprofits\n\nThursday\, February 16th\, 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM ET\n\nRegistration Fees: $69 for Members\, $99 for Nonmembers.  Please log into the Member Portal to find the member discount code\, or email hilaria@dev.wvnpa.org. \nREGISTER NOW\n\n\nEVENT INFO\n\n\n\n\n\nWHO: Is your nonprofit leasing space or equipment of some kind? If any lease you are under is for a term longer than 12 months\, then you are in for A HUGE CHANGE this year in how you account for these leases on your books! WHAT: The accounting gods issued an accounting standard that deals with leases (ASU 2016-2 & ASC 842 for the accounting geeks out there). The bottom line is\, the entire amount of your lease now needs to be booked as a liability on your books with a corresponding “right of use” asset shown as well. Making things more complicated\, this new liability will need to be recorded as a loan with an imputed interest rate used to record a portion of each monthly lease payment as interest expense. Seriously\, this represents the biggest change in years in accounting and will have dramatic effects to your financial statements! \n\nIf you are wondering:\nDoes this really affect my little old nonprofit? (Spoiler Alert – yes\, it does!)\nDoes this include things like cam charges\, maintenance\, taxes\, etc…?\nWhat happens if I end my lease early?\nWhere do I point the monthly rent checks to?\nWon’t this make my liabilities on my balance sheet look huge now?\nWill I still show rent expense on my Profit and Loss?\nWhat the heck is an imputed interest rate and what rate should I use?\nAnd finally…how do I do this in QuickBooks?\n\nWHY COME: Whether you are a nonprofit bookkeeper\, a CPA\, or simply doing the books for your nonprofit\, you are now required to implement this change in order to be in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles. If you don’t learn this from us\, learn it somewhere soon! \n\nDon’t miss this opportunity. You will be VERY glad you came! \nWHEN:  Thursday\, February 16th 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. EST (11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. PST)\n\nEmail: support@QuickBooksMadeEasy.com\n\nAll Participants will receive log-in information prior to the webinar!\n\nCPAs earn 2 hours of CPE credit for the live workshop. (In order to be awarded the full credits\, you must respond to at least three polling questions per credit asked during the program.)\n\nField of Study: Accounting; Specialized Knowledge *This training is for users of both the Desktop and Online versions of QuickBooks*\nPrerequisites: Attendees should have a background knowledge of basic accounting principles and at least one year of professional work experience in the accounting/bookkeeping field. \nWho Should Attend: This webinar is recommended for accountants\, bookkeepers\, and executive directors of nonprofit organizations both large and small.

However\, asking the right questions of your local banks can make your community stronger. \nFor example\, when the Paycheck Protection Program launched\, did your bank proactively reach out to alert you about how to complete the application? Many banks did. And while this was not a requirement of banks\, having a relationship can help you when the unexpected happens or new opportunities arise. \nDuring this TargetED\, Alice Ruhnke will help you build relationships with your community banks. \nYou’ll learn: \n\nhow to find community banks that are right for you;\nhow the Community Reinvestment Act can benefit you;\nthe actions you need to take when researching banks in your community; and\,\nrecommended steps to develop\, maintain\, and grow relationships with your community banks.\n\nEven if you already have banking relationships\, this TargetED can help ensure you’re maximizing this relationship. \nThis session includes 30 minutes of practical teaching and 15 minutes of Q&A. It is ideal for nonprofit leaders including executive directors\, financial personnel\, and board members who desire to propel their nonprofit to even greater impact by banking based on values. \n\n\nDate\nMonday\, February 20\, 2023 – 2 PM EST\n\n\nDuration\n45 Minutes\n\n\nQuestions? Call\n1-877-784-7268.\n\n\nPolicies\n\nYou will receive two GrantStation emails: \n1. A copy of your paid invoice\n2. A confirmation email from Zoom for the webinar with the login credentials \nIf you do not receive the confirmation email within 48 hours of registering\, please email or call 1-877-784-7268. \nGrantStation does not refund registration fees. Fees may be applied to any webinar scheduled within 30 days. \nAfter the webinar\, you will receive an email with a link to the recording and any handouts. \n\n\n\nPresenter\n\n\nAlice Ruhnke\n\nAlice Ruhnke is the President of GrantStation. Having raised over $45 million from federal\, state\, and private grantmakers\, she knows what it takes to get funded.

SUMMARY:(FREE) Impact Capital and the Spectrum of Social Enterprises
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is offered by GrantStation.\n\nWednesday\, February 22nd\, 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM ET\n\nRegistration Fee: FREE \nREGISTER NOW\n\nGrowing your nonprofit requires innovation. \nBut many organizations hesitate to try something new because they fear how it will affect finances. \nTo overcome this\, you need new ways of thinking about raising capital to help you fund the good work you do\, which means you should explore all the funding sources that are available for your organization. \nFor example\, nonprofits with earned-revenue (i.e.\, social enterprises) can often access impact capital and non-traditional funding sources to scale their programs and projects. \nBut what if you don’t consider your organization a social enterprise? \nYou still may be able to access impact capital—because social enterprises fall onto a spectrum. It’s not always black and white. \nTaking the time to understand where your organization fits on this spectrum will allow you to determine whether your organization is a good fit for non-traditional funding sources. \nDuring this free webinar\, Paul Wright will help you understand different social impact models. You’ll explore the spectrum of social enterprise components which you can apply to your own organization and programs\, so you can determine whether you have the opportunity to access non-traditional funding sources. \nYou will: \n\nsee examples of innovations in the public\, private\, and philanthropic sectors;\nlearn about innovative business models that combine earned revenues and social impact;\napply an innovative framework to assess your own organization;\nexplore the difference between sustainable and self-sufficient models; and\,\ndetermine whether raising impact capital is right for your organization.\n\nYou’ll walk away ready to grow your nonprofit with innovative thinking. \nThis session is perfect for nonprofit leaders who are curious about whether non-traditional capital is a good fit for their organization. \nThis is the first webinar in Paul Wright’s Innovate Now learning series. The second session\, Innovate and Grow: Raising Impact Capital\, will help you understand the non-traditional funding sources that many nonprofits can access. \n\n\nDate\nWednesday\, February 22\, 2023 – 2 PM EST\n\n\nDuration\n60 Minutes\n\n\nQuestions? Call\n1-877-784-7268.\n\n\nPolicies\n\nYou will receive two GrantStation emails: \n1. A copy of your paid invoice\n2. A confirmation email from Zoom for the webinar with the login credentials \nIf you do not receive the confirmation email within 48 hours of registering\, please email or call 1-877-784-7268. \nGrantStation does not refund registration fees. Fees may be applied to any webinar scheduled within 30 days. \nAfter the webinar\, you will receive an email with a link to the recording and any handouts. \n\n\n\nPresenter\n\n\nPaul Wright\n\n\n\nPaul is the President of Wright Venture Services. He’s had a 23-year career in community economic development finance and now he shares what he’s learned with social entrepreneurs and organizations that serve them. He’s often called the Common Good Coach because of his passion to help mission-driven leaders create more good in the world through their enterprise and leadership.

SUMMARY:The Change Map and the Bottom-Up Logic Model
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is offered by GrantStation.\n\nMonday\, October 24th\, 2:00 PM – 2:45 PM ET\nRegistration Fee: $69 per person\, $159 per group – Between 2-10 people\, on all different devices in different locations\, can view the webinar \nREGISTER NOW\n\nThis interactive session\, led by Maryn Boess\, founder of GrantsMagic U\, offers a powerful way of thinking about and assessing the work your organization does—and a simple\, step-by-step process for communicating the impact of your work to funders\, partners\, and the community at large. \nThe Change Map and Bottom-Up Logic Model are two powerful\, practical tools that help community agencies organize resources toward change and diagnose misalignments between action and impact. \nUsing these tools together\, we can create a visual framework for meaningful\, measurable collective impact in a challenging and changing environment—and organize our resources to achieve it. \nIn this engaging\, interactive session Maryn will: \n\nintroduce a very big-picture context called The Change Map—bigger than the Logic Model\, even bigger than your mission!—for articulating exactly what your organization does and why it matters;\nexplain why the Logic Model is the indispensable\, do-it-all power tool for planning\, managing\, and evaluating all our community work—grant proposal or no grant proposal; and\,\ndemonstrate how to use our X-ray vision to expose the essential “bones” of the Logic Model structure and exactly how all the pieces fit together. (PLUS you’ll get hands-on practice constructing a Logic Model right on the spot!)\n\nYou’ll see how flipping the Logic Model on its side to create “The Bottom-Up Logic Model” turns it into a powerful lens for spotting\, diagnosing\, and fixing problems in our program plans and change initiatives. \nBONUS: Through the Collaboration Logic Model\, you’ll learn how the Bottom-Up Logic Model can be used to map out the work of your community teams and partnerships to make sure you maximize your collective mpact. \n\n\nDate\nThursday\, February 23\, 2023 – 2 PM EST\n\n\nDuration\n90 Minutes\n\n\nQuestions? Call\n1-877-784-7268.\n\n\nPolicies\n\nYou will receive two GrantStation emails: \n1. A copy of your paid invoice\n2. A confirmation email from Zoom for the webinar with the login credentials \nIf you do not receive the confirmation email within 48 hours of registering\, please email or call 1-877-784-7268. \nGrantStation does not refund registration fees. Fees may be applied to any webinar scheduled within 30 days. \nAfter the webinar\, you will receive an email with a link to the recording and any handouts. \n\n\n\nPresenter\n\n\nMaryn Boess\n\nOver her 25+-year nonprofit career\, Maryn Boess has been an on-staff grantwriter; a grants consultant (winning $42 million for her clients over ten years); a grants trainer; a grants reviewer\, author\, speaker\, mentor and coach; and – since 2006 – even a grantmaker.

SUMMARY:Spotlight on Community-Centric Fundraising
DESCRIPTION:This session is offered by the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits.\n\nTuesday\, March 21st\, 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM ET\n\nRegistration Fees: $129 for Members\, $169 for Nonmembers.  Please log into the Member Portal to find the member discount code\, or email hilaria@dev.wvnpa.org. \nREGISTER NOW\nCommunity-Centric Fundraising (CCF) is a grassroots movement that seeks to move philanthropy and fundraising forward in a way that centers racial and economic justice. CCF\, and its 10 Principles\, were introduced to the nonprofit world by a collective of nonprofit fundraisers of color in 2018. You’ve probably heard of the concept\, but as a young(ish) movement\, many in the nonprofit sector are still unsure how to implement CCF in their own practice. \nThis one-day training of four sessions is designed to support nonprofit fundraisers in better understanding the Community-Centric Fundraising movement\, its Principles\, and how to both incorporate CCF into their work and help advance the effort to further fundraising practices that are grounded in race\, equity\, and social justice. \nParticipants of this Spotlight will: \n\n\n\n\nLearn about the philosophy and principles of CCF\nExamine the inequitable history of philanthropy\, and possibilities for the future\nExplore how to move fundraising practices forward to focus on social justice\nHear from practitioners who have applied CCF at their organization\nGain knowledge and strategies they will be able to implement in their own work\n\n\n\n\nSpotlights are day-long virtual trainings\, offering four to five 60-minute sessions\, each exploring a different aspect of a specific topic. Each session will be led by experienced nonprofit leaders and subject-matter experts. Spotlights are designed to offer practical information that can be applied immediately along with larger-picture questions and possibilities to consider for the long-term. \nThe Spotlight will be hosted by Mallory Mitchell of CCF MN. \nSchedule\nAll times listed in Central Time \n10 – 11 a.m. // Introduction to CCF\nThe history of philanthropy is rooted in inequity. Some of these same narratives and systems remain embedded in the sector today. In order to move the work of nonprofits forward\, and to best serve our communities\, a re-examination of the philosophies and practices of fundraising is needed. The Community-Centric Fundraising movement aims to center social justice and reduce harm in nonprofit work. This session will touch on the history and systemic problems with nonprofits and foundations\, introduce the Principles and key concepts of the movement\, and share the values and vision of CCF.\nAndrea Hite\, associate program director\, Breakthrough Twin Cities \n \n11:30 a.m. // 12:30 p.m. – CCF in Action\nSession description forthcoming. \n1:30 – 2:30 p.m. // Getting Buy-in from your Organization\nAre you interested in implementing CCF at your nonprofit? Great! Now what? Join this session to hear from a fundraising professional about her experience of making the case for CCF at her organization. She’ll share how she presented the opportunities to leadership\, what has been implemented so far\, and some potential strategies for how to get from maybe to yes in the future. Transformational change is a process; and can start with building support and strengthening your case to bring others along with you in the work.\nPie Paulson\, grants specialist and Mala Thao\, vice president of individual philanthropy\, Greater Twin Cities United Way \n \n3 – 4 p.m. // What it Means to be an Anti-Capitalist Fundraiser\nCCF is deconstructing the way we have historically viewed fundraising. One thing that comes to focus from it all is that fundraising is hard work. Whether you’ve been doing it for years or just starting out\, the physical and mental tolls can be overwhelming. As we seek to continue changing the way we think about fundraising for a more equitable world\, we also need change the way we take care of ourselves and our relationships with power and wealth. This session touches on how community healing\, re-examining our structures\, and becoming an anti-capitalist fundraiser helped battle doubts\, solidarity\, and provided continuing hope for the future of the fundraising field.\nCarlos García León\, individual giving manager\, Chicago Shakespeare Theater \nThis event is offered in partnership with CCF MN\, a collective for Minnesota-based fundraisers who are committed to the CCF movement. This Spotlight will be hosted by Mallory Mitchell of CCF MN.

You just might not be in control of your marketing\, which will cost you in mission support and client engagement. \nFortunately\, most marketing is either no cost or low cost\, and the best marketing starts with attitude and interactions\, and moves from there. \nDuring this webinar\, Matt Hugg\, founder of Nonprofit.Courses\, will show you how to spot opportunities to enhance internal and external visibility and satisfaction with how you carry out your mission. \nThis session will help you: \n\nlearn how the differences between businesses and nonprofits make a major impact on your marketing;\nsee why marketing doesn’t need to break the bank;\nanalyze who needs to get your marketing message;\ndiscover how to define your competitive advantage; and\,\nfind out how to determine your message’s vehicle.\n\nYou’ll leave seeing nonprofit marketing in a new light. \nThis session is perfect for executive directors\, external relations personnel\, fundraisers\, and volunteers who want to increase their income and client satisfaction with their mission. \n\n\nDate\nThursday\, April 20\, 2023 – 2 PM EDT\n\n\nDuration\n60 Minutes\n\n\nQuestions?
