This endeavor served as the testing ground for a national company\, GrantStation\, which opened its Internet doors in the fall of 2001.

It’s perfect for executive directors\, development personnel\, bookkeepers\, and grant professionals.  \n\n\nDate\nMonday\, May 1\, 2023 – 2 PM EDT\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.

SUMMARY:Jump Start Your Federal Proposal Writing
DESCRIPTION:This session is offered by GrantStation.\n\nThursday\, May 4th\, 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM ET\n\nRegistration Fees: $69 per person\, $159 per group of 2-10 people \nREGISTER NOW\n\nAre you thinking about jumping into federal grants?\nEvery year the federal government releases millions of dollars to help nonprofit organizations serve their communities. In fact\, now is the best time to consider these grants as more federal money has become available through the American Rescue Plan. \nHowever\, federal grants are extremely competitive. The application process is cumbersome and often requires a high level of work investment. \nThere are two essential ingredients of every successful federal grant proposal: preparation and early planning. \nDuring this webinar\, Alice Ruhnke will show you how to research federal funding opportunities and develop the initial strategies needed to craft competitive federal grant applications. \nYou’ll learn: \n\nhow to read federal instructions to help you identify ideal funding opportunities;\nthe steps needed to write competitive proposals;\nwhat federal grant reviewers are actually looking for; and\,\nthe important proposal strategies you must implement before instructions are even released.\n\nYou’ll discover that\, while challenging\, writing federal proposals is truly a “high reward” activity which is often worth the investment as it can help your organization fulfill its mission for years to come. \nIn order to gain the most from this session\, some experience in grant proposal writing is encouraged\, but not required. This webinar is perfect for nonprofit organizations who want to “move up the food chain” from foundation and corporate grants to government grants. \n\n\nGrantStation is a GPCI Accepted Continuing Education Provider. Full participation in this webinar is applicable for 1.5 pts points in Category 1\, Education. Click to learn more about obtaining your GPCI credit. \n  \nJump Start Your Federal Proposal Writing 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\nThursday\, May 4\, 2023 – 2 PM EDT\n\n\nDuration\n90 Minutes\n\n\nQuestions?

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.
