SUMMARY:Better Data\, Better Stories
DESCRIPTION:This series is being offered by Montana Nonprofit Association.\n\nMarch 4th\, 11th\, 18th\, & 25th  1:00 PM – 2:15 PM\n\nRegistration Fees: $95 for individual members/$175 for member organization or $190 for individual nonmembers/$350 for nonmember organizations.   \nWVNPA members only need to select the member rate when registering – be sure to provide your state when asked for registration to verify. \nREGISTER NOW\nMany nonprofits spend years missing opportunities because they lack compelling data to tell the story of their work. Over the course of four sessions\, participants will develop their impact statements\, data strategy\, and supporting documentation\, so they can confidently communicate the value of their work. The training takes a hand-ons approach and centers equity\, efficiency and nonprofits’ core need to fund their critical work. \nAudience: Nonprofit organizations\, whether newborn or 100 years old who: \n\nAre looking for a compelling and efficient way to communicate their impact\nMiss funding opportunities because they lack a Logic Model\, Theory of Change\, or concise and compelling language to describe how their program makes a difference\nStruggle to communicate the importance of their work\, or notice staff\, board and partners all talk about their impact differently\nHave a piecemeal data strategy that does speak to overall organizational strategy\nCollect data\, but don’t use it\nDon’t know where to start when it comes to data and evaluation\n\nWorkshop Objectives: As a participant you will… \n\nUse an Impact Statement approach to clearly and succinctly communicate the critical work of your organization \nCreate a Logic Model that serves as a programmatic roadmap and can be used when applying for funding and evaluating impact \nAssess your current data strategy and choose new/existing metrics that are equitable\, feasible and in alignment with your Impact Statements and Logic Model \nDevelop a plan to implement your new strategies \n\nCourse Schedule\n\n\nMarch 4th | Session 1: Impact Statements for Nonprofits \nDescription: Nonprofits are often pressured to provide data that proves their impact\, but the vast majority don’t have the resources to conduct rigorous studies or otherwise document their long-term impacts.  An impact statement approach helps nonprofits build off existing research to explain their impact. During this session we’ll learn the impact statement approach\, move through a series of hands-on examples\, and teams will begin to build out their impact statements. \nWorkshop Objectives: \n\nUnderstand an Impact Statement Approach and how to apply it to your organization or program\nDefine the problem your organization or program exists to solve\nIdentify your program’s solution\nAnalyze existing research and models\nCreate an Impact Statement for your organization or program \n\n\n\nMarch 11th | Session 2: Create Your Aligned Logic Model\nWhile Impact Statements are incredible at clearly and succinctly communicating your organization’s big picture impact\, logic models help us drill down into the everyday work of running a program. They are roadmaps with step-by-step directions from program inputs to long-term impacts. Often\, logic models are required for grant applications or reporting and then left in a virtual folder\, collecting figurative dust. That’s a huge waste! When done effectively\, Logic Models are powerful roadmaps that keep our work focused\, help us continually improve our program’s effectiveness and help us prioritize our resources. During this session we’ll build off the work of session one and dig into how your organization does its everyday work to achieve results. \nWorkshop Objectives: \n\nLearn how a logic model can be used as a program or organizational roadmap \nUnderstand the different parts of a logic model and how to effectively write them\nAnalyze any current logic models (if relevant) and/or create new logic models to represent your program or organization \n\n\n\n\n\nMarch 18th | Session 3: Plan Measurement and Data Collection \nDuring the last two weeks\, by virtue of creating clear Impact Statements and Logic Models\, we’ve set ourselves up to identify the key metrics most essential for evaluating our program’s effectiveness and impact. During this session we’ll work from our logic models to evaluate how your currently collected data aligns with your new data strategy\, and what additional metrics are now needed. This session will have a strong focus on equitable data collection practices\, while also emphasizing what is feasible and efficient for nonprofits. \nWorkshop Objectives: \n\nUnderstand how to use your logic model and impact statement to create an aligned data strategy\nEvaluate whether current metrics align with your impact model \nChoose metrics for your data strategy considering equity\, feasibility and alignment \n\n\n\nMarch 25th | Session 4: Implementation & Sustainability \nA data strategy is only useful if it’s used. During the final session\, we’ll focus on application and implementation\, so teams are well set-up to continue implementing their new tools\, and use their data strategy for fundraising\, grant reporting\, communications/raising awareness\, legislative advocacy\, learning and program improvement\, program evaluation and more. This session will emphasize planning and include identifying and problem-solving around potential barriers\, planning for additional team/stakeholder involvement\, and identifying any next steps around data collection\, storage and use. \nWorkshop Objectives: \n\nDevelop a plan to ensure your new strategy is implemented/shared and used by your organization \n\n\nThink through next steps to build off the work you’ve completed thus-far\, including relating to needed data collection\nReflect on lessons learned and celebrate successes of the group\n\nRegistration Includes: \n\n4 live\, 75 minute sessions (recorded)\nTemplates\, bonus exercises to involve teams who aren’t attending live\, and other references and resources for participants who want to dig deeper\n\nCourse Instructor\n\n\nLily Sussman (she/her)\nLily is the owner and director of LAS Visions LLC. She specializes in supporting organizations to develop practical and effective data and evaluation strategies that quantify their work\, demonstrate their impact\, and raise awareness and funding. She has 15 years of experience working in education\, public health and with nonprofits. \nLily holds a Masters of Science in Public Health from Johns Hopkins University and a Masters of Arts in Teaching from National Louis University.

SUMMARY:Ripple Effects Mapping (REM) Two Day Training Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This in-person training is offered by Philanthropy WV\n\nTuesday\, May 16th – 17th\, 9:00 AM – 15:00 PM ET & 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM ET\n\nRegistration Fees: $350\nSpecial offer – the first three (3) WVNPA members to register will receive a 50% discount!  \nRegister Now\n\nJoin Philanthropy WV and West Virginia Prevention Research Center for the Ripple Effects Mapping (REM) Training.  REM is a qualitative evaluation tool to assess direct and indirect impact of programs and initiatives. REM includes four crucial components – appreciative inquiry\, a participatory approach\, interactive group interviewing and reflection\, and mind mapping. \nThis two-day training will provide participants with the necessary information and practice to successfully complete a Ripple Effects Mapping session. Training on facilitation\, mind-mapping\, the logistics of REM\, and doing REM in WV will be provided along with strategic practice sessions for participants to apply their knew found knowledge of REM. \nREM celebrates what community-based organizations (CBOs) are able to accomplish by encouraging participants to talk about their successes with each other and the facilitator. Then\, the facilitator maps their progress on paper while a mind mapper maps their progress on a computer. This process provides the CBO with a physical manifestation of the “ripple effects” of their hard work and gives them the ability to stand back and recognize the difference they have made. \nFurthermore\, REM data can be thematically analyzed\, just as all other qualitative data\, to provide definitive insights into impact for funders. REM provides an alternative way to evaluate programming where the funders get the information that is most important to them in a less obtrusive and time-consuming way for CBOs than traditional evaluation data collection techniques. \nThank you to our sponsors for their support\n           \n  \n\nWHEN: This will be a 2 day training event \nDay One- May 16th from 9 am to 5pm \nDay Two- May 17th from 9am to 12pm \nWHERE: The training will take place at the Bridgeport Conference Center \nhttps://bridgeportconference.com/ \nHotel Info:    https://bridgeportconference.com/hotels/ \n \nCOST: \n$250 for Philanthropy WV Members $350 for Non-Members \nTraining spaces are limited\, and registration will be closed after all the spots are filled. \nWe will send you your invoice after registering. Payment must be made by April 15th to secure your registration. \nRegister Now \n\nTRAINER BIOS \nKATHRYN BURNHAM\, MA \nKathryn (Katie) Burnham is the lead evaluator for state partnerships for the West Virginia Prevention Research Center.

SUMMARY:OMB Uniform Guidance: What the Updates Mean for Nonprofits
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is offered by the National Council of Nonprofits.\n\nThursday\, May 30th; 3:30 PM – 4:30 PM ET\n\nRegistration Fees: FREE \n\nRegister Now\nLearn how to take advantage of newly announced improvements to federal grantmaking processes\nThe federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) recently announced significant revisions to the Uniform Guidance that promise big\, long-sought changes in how organizations access grant funding at the federal\, state\, and local levels. For many nonprofits\, this will mean easier application and reporting processes\, better funding for indirect costs/overhead\, and much more. \nThe networks of the National Council of Nonprofits are hosting a free webinar with OMB officials Deidre Harrison and Steven P. Mackey and additional experts to discuss these historic revisions\, implementation timelines\, and real-life implications for charitable nonprofits. \nWhy the changes matter\nThe newly released rewrite addresses longstanding problems in government grants not fully covering nonprofits’ actual costs\, advances equity by making grants accessible to more organizations and communities\, and makes other significant reforms that will reduce bureaucratic barriers and burdens. They also reduce costs of seeking\, performing\, and reporting on grants using federal funds. \nWho should attend this webinar\nRegardless of the size of your nonprofit and whether your organization manages scores of grants or has never received grants from governments\, every nonprofit will benefit from attending this webinar. As for who\, any and everyone in your organization dedicated to the impact and sustainability of your mission\, especially people serving in any of the following roles: \n\nExecutive Director/CEO\nCFO\nDevelopment/Fundraising Directors\nGrant Managers\nProgram Leads
