SUMMARY:Taking Up Space: The Roots and Implications of Sizeism
DESCRIPTION:This session is offered by the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits.\n\nWednesday\, June 21st\, 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM ET\n\nRegistration Fees: $45 for Members\, $65 for Nonmembers.  Please log into the Member Portal to find the member discount code\, or email hilaria@dev.wvnpa.org. \nREGISTER NOW\nIn a culture trained by centuries of sexism and racism to objectify women’s bodies\, to privilege thinness\, and to condemn fatness\, the importance of celebrating and respecting fat bodies can be difficult for some to grasp. Social systems of sizeism and ableism deny fat bodies equal worth\, access\, and value. Outdated practices in the healthcare industry invalidate personal autonomy\, pathologize\, and endanger big bodies. Anti-fat bias in hiring and recruiting can mean missing out on talented candidates who we assume to lack individual willpower or discipline simply because of their size. In this workshop\, we explore sizeism and ableism through the intersectional lens of sexism\, racism\, and classism. We discuss the implications of anti-fat bias in the workplace and learn to create inclusive spaces for bodies of all sizes. \nSeries Information\nThis is a single workshop in the 3-part Creating and Sustaining Inclusive Nonprofits Series. Use the registration button at the top of this event page to register for this single session. Use the following link to register for the full series for $129 for members and $169 for nonmembers: Register for the full series. \nMay 3 – Hierarchies All Around: Addressing Class\, Socioeconomic Status\, and Rank\nMay 9 –  Behind the Letters: Understanding LGBTQIA Identities\nJune 21 – Taking Up Space: The Roots and Implications of Sizeism \nEvent Details\nThis virtual event will take place on the Zoom platform. Your access link will be emailed to you the day before the event after 12 p.m. \nThis session will be recorded. The recording will be made available to registrants for 14 days after the live event. \nCaptioning is provided automatically through Zoom.

With a strong corporate background in crisis and change management\, she is passionate about building empowered teams and organizational cultures that interrupt systems of oppression and marginalization.

As a queer woman and fat liberation activist\, Kaitlin is passionate about creating safer spaces where all bodies are celebrated and have agency. Her approach to social justice work balances reformist activism with mindfulness and emotional intelligence.

SUMMARY:How to Use AI When Writing Grant Proposals
DESCRIPTION:This session is offered by GrantStation.\n\nWednesday\, August 23rd\, 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM ET\n\nRegistration Fees: $69 per person\, $159 per group of 2-10 people \nREGISTER NOW\n\n\nIf your organization is similar to other nonprofits\, a lack of time\, staff\, and resources is one of the greatest challenges you face when grantseeking. \nFortunately\, you now have access to hundreds of AI tools which can save you time. In fact\, these tools can potentially save you hours when writing your next proposal. \nHowever\, current AI tools cannot replace an effective proposal writer. Instead\, they can be used as a well-trained assistant\, which means you must understand their strengths and weaknesses in order to maximize their value. Otherwise\, you may end up wasting time by submitting a poorly written proposal. \nDuring this webinar\, Alice Ruhnke and David Gates will show you how to use AI tools effectively when writing proposals. We’ll be joined by Phillip Deng\, the CEO of Grantable\, and Mike Chamberlain\, the CEO of the Grant Professionals Association\, who will share their unique insights into AI best practices and considerations for nonprofits. \nYou’ll learn: \n\nhow AI actually works\, along with its strengths and weaknesses when it comes to proposal writing;\na 3-step process for effectively using an AI tool;\nwhat research you need to complete prior to using AI tools;\nhow AI tools can help you answer questions found in an RFP;\nthe editing steps you need to take before submitting a proposal that was written with the assistance of AI tools;\nmyths and misconceptions about AI; and\,\nother AI tools to consider beyond ChatGPT.\n\nThis session will explore the proposal writing process while using ChatGPT as an assistant so you walk away ready to test out AI tools within your own organization. However\, this is not a training on the best practices for ChatGPT. Specific skills related to ChatGPT (i.e. prompt engineering) are out of the scope of this webinar. \nThis session is perfect for any nonprofit staff member involved in the grantseeking process who is looking for ways to maximize the use of AI in their organization. \n\n\nFull participation in this webinar is applicable for 1.5 points in Category 1.B -Education of the CFRE International application for initial certification and/or recertification. \n  \n\n\nDate\nWednesday\, August 23\, 2023 – 2 PM EDT\n\n\nDuration\n90 Minutes\n\n\nQuestions? Call\n1-877-784-7268.\n\n\nPresenter:\n\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. As a former nonprofit program coordinator and director\, and the Founder of The Grant Advantage\, Alice has a deep understanding of the challenges that nonprofits face. Over the last 20 years she’s worked in the trenches with hundreds of nonprofit organizations to improve their capacity to raise funds. Alice is an author and educator with a passion to share her expertise.

And how will you measure those changes? \nDuring this TargetED\, Alice Ruhnke will show you how to use outcomes and indicators so you can answer a funder’s “So what?” question confidently. \nYou’ll learn: \n\nwhat outcomes are and why they are an important piece of your proposal;\nhow to actually measure your outcomes using indicators;\nhow to create a process evaluation;\npros and cons of different measurement tools; and\,\nhow you can establish an evaluation process.\n\nYou’ll leave ready to craft a proposal that clearly shows the difference your program will make in the lives of those you serve. \nTargetEDs are designed with beginners in mind.
