Impact data can help your organization make informed decisions\, improve the quality of your services\, and tell powerful success stories. This is what makes it so critical to fundraising success. \nIn order to maximize your fundraising\, you must align the impact data you communicate to your donor with where your donor is on their journey—whether they’ve just become aware of your organization\, have donated once\, are a recurring donor\, or have included your organization in their planned giving. You need to communicate the incredible outcomes you’ve achieved\, without overwhelming potential donors. It can be challenging to know exactly what donors need to know and when. \nDuring this webinar\, Sheri Chaney Jones of Measurement Resources Company will help you find the right cadence and level of detail for communicating your impact to various stakeholders. You’ll see how you can strike the perfect balance between sharing your passion and delivering a clear\, concise message. \nYou’ll learn: \n\nthe five stages of your donors’ journey that you should consider;\nwhy you need to communicate differently to donors at different stages; and\,\nhow to use a variety of impact data and success stories to drive home your message so you can engage your audience.\n\nYou’ll leave with a clear idea of what to communicate\, when to communicate it\, and to whom it should be directed. \nThis webinar is perfect for all levels of nonprofit teams\, including executive directors\, fundraisers and development staff\, grantwriters\, or those working in marketing. \n\n\nDate\nTuesday\, November 14\, 2023 – 2 PM EST\n\n\nDuration\n90 Minutes\n\n\nQuestions? Call\n1-877-784-7268.\n\n\n\nPresenter:\n\nSheri Chaney Jones is a social entrepreneur who has helped government\, nonprofit organizations\, and social enterprises gather and use data to change actions\, outcomes\, and lives.

SUMMARY:A Model for Healing: Internal Family Systems and Your Nonprofit
DESCRIPTION:This session is offered by the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits.\n\nTuesday\, November 14th\, 2:00 PM – 4:00 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\nEverything that happens in your nonprofit happens in the context of communities: the communities you serve directly\, the communities who have a stake in your work\, and the community of staff and volunteers and donors who make up your nonprofit. Your success depends on harmonious communication among all those communities — and the more diverse your communities are\, the trickier it can be to keep everyone talking kindly together. That’s where the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model can help. \nIFS is a simple and powerful way to understand how human systems work. Originally developed by mental health clinicians\, IFS helps individual human beings heal from trauma by understanding the many perspectives within their own minds. But IFS principles can also bring deeper understanding\, more compassionate communication\, and greater harmony to bigger human systems — like your nonprofit and the communities you serve. \nIn this quick\, accessible introduction from a trained IFS practitioner\, you’ll learn practical ways the principles of IFS can help your nonprofit communicate more skillfully in communities at every scale — out in the world\, inside your organization\, and within yourself. \nLearning objectives: \n\nLearn how IFS developed out of family therapy and systems theory\nRecognize common structures of human communities at three scales: social systems\, organizations\, and individuals\nDescribe common protective roles for community members\, and explain how they work together (and come into conflict) at all three scales\nLearn and practice simple IFS techniques for responding compassionately to challenging moments in nonprofit work — also at all three scales\n\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. For information on requesting CART\, ASL\, or another accommodation\, please visit our Registration Policies page. \nTo learn more about events\, registration\, and payment\, visit our Event & Registration FAQ page. \nSpeaker Information\nAs a consultant and coach\, Neil Ashvin Chudgar helps people communicate more skillfully in their communities — out in the world\, in groups and teams\, and within themselves. Before founding Chudgar Consulting in 2014\, Ash spent over a decade helping students think about language and meaning at the University of Chicago and Macalester College\, where he taught poetry\, fiction\, and philosophy.

Many people dread asking for money. This apprehension can hinder your mission and limit the financial support your cause desperately needs. \nWhile understanding fundraising strategy and how to approach a donor is critical\, mastering the moment where you ask for an investment can be the difference between getting the donation or not. \nDuring this webinar\, Mindy Muller will explore concrete strategies you can use when asking for donations.

SUMMARY:Take Up Space: The Roots and Implications of Sizeism
DESCRIPTION:This session is offered by the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits.\n\nThursday\, November 16th\, 2:00 PM – 4:00 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. \nOutdated 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. \nIn 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. \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. For information on requesting CART\, ASL\, or another accommodation\, please visit our Registration Policies page. \nTo learn more about events\, registration\, and payment\, visit our Event & Registration FAQ page. \n\nSpeaker Information\nKaitlin Desselle\, M.S.\, brings over 10 years of inclusive leadership experience and business innovation to her role as director of client support & development with Strategic Diversity Initiatives. 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. Kaitlin serves as a Diversity Educator and on the Chancellor’s Commission for LGBTQ People at the University of Tennessee\, where she earned a Masters degree in Educational Psychology with a research focus in Critical HROD and Queer Empowerment. 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:Power Struggles: Radical Leadership Practices for Advancing Equity
DESCRIPTION:This session is offered by the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits.\n\nWednesday\, November 29th\, 2:30 PM – 4:00 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\nAs the rightful demands of the workforce are increasing\, most leaders do not feel equipped to navigate critical dialogue\, let alone take the lead progressing an equity centered culture. Ironically\, data illustrates that leaders who can find their way to inclusive leadership foster teams that are more relevant\, competitive\, and resilient. \nStudies show employees are more likely to leave a supervisor\, than a job. This is crucial because 46% of new hires leave a company within their first year. As expectations rise for inclusive leadership and equitable workplaces\, how can we create spaces where employees want to stay? \nThis session will go beyond conversation about leadership styles\, and explore emotional intelligence\, cultural humility\, and equity centered imperatives. Come to disrupt harmful white supremacy culture norms\, overcome executive leadership tropes\, and learn how to lean into your positional power as a tool to advance your workplace culture into the future. \nLearning Outcomes \n\nDiscover barriers to inclusive leadership: white supremacy culture\, leadership tropes & conflict.\nReflect on own leadership using critical lenses to adjust intentions\, approaches and behavior.\nUnderstand what workplace safety is\, and the ways leaders need to be accountable to advancing it.\n\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 after the live event. \nCaptioning is provided automatically through Zoom.
