SUMMARY:WVNPA Webinar: Grantwriting and the 80/20 Rule

Once you begin using this system\, you time spent preparing applications will be shortened!

SUMMARY:GuideStar Webinar: Ask the Nonprofit Lawyer: Everything You Wanted to Know about Nonprofit Copyrights and Trademarks
DESCRIPTION: \n\nRegister Now \n\nToday’s digital world requires proactive measures to enforce and manage valuable content — as well as to avoid infringing others’ rights. Many nonprofit executives don’t fully appreciate the often counter-intuitive intricacies and nuances of intellectual property law\, as well as the pitfalls that abound for failing to proactively address them. On the trademark side\, from clearing to registering marks\, to managing\, licensing and enforcing them — both domestically and internationally – there’s an abundance of knowledge and know-how to digest. On the copyright side\, new technologies bring about new challenges with protecting rights in and avoiding liability from misusing others’ copyrightable works (or failing to sufficiently protect your own rights). Moreover\, the role of volunteers in the nonprofit setting poses its own set of intellectual property challenges. \nIn this Q&A-driven webinar\, you’ll have the opportunity to submit your own questions to one of the nation’s leading nonprofit attorneys from the Venable law firm as he walks you through the essentials\, highlights common traps and pitfalls\, discusses best practices in the nonprofit community\, and most importantly\, gives you the thoughtful\, practical\, real-life guidance and tips that you need to know in order to protect your nonprofit in the U.S. and overseas\, as well as optimize and capitalize on your nonprofit’s intellectual property. \nPresenters\nJeffrey S.

SUMMARY:Strength-Based Grant Writing
DESCRIPTION:Strength-Based Grant Writing is intended to help build new capacity for nonprofit organizations. This hands-on\, intensive training will help aspiring and experienced grant writers approach grant writing from a strength-based perspective. Strength-based grant writing seeks collaboration\, shared understanding\, and commitment to action by the organization and the larger community in identifying opportunities for change and new direction. At the end of this training\, participants will not only understand all the components of a grant application\, but will also have a new way of looking appreciatively at what works in their organization and community. \nMore than 350 people have attending this workshop since its inception. One participant recently wrote: \nI had the absolute pleasure of participating in your Strength Based Grant Writing Workshop this past October. I cannot express to you how extraordinary and worthwhile I found the entire process. \nSo far\, my organization has been approved for two of the grants that I have written – there is no doubt in my mind this would not have been feasible without the tools and knowledge I gained through your workshop.” \nCome and join the growing network of nonprofit professionals approaching grant writing from this unique and energizing perspective. Registration is limited to the first 50 people. \nWe will be asking questions such as: \n\nWhat are our organization’s strengths? What can we build on? What makes us unique? How do we use our strengths to get results?\nWhat are our stakeholders asking for? How can we reframe challenges to be seen as exciting opportunities? What new skills do we need to move forward?\nWhat do we care deeply about? What do we want more of? What strategic initiatives would support our aspirations?\nWhat meaningful measures would indicate that we are on track to achieving our goals?\n\nWhat resources are needed to implement our most vital projects? \n \nWVU Continuing Education Certificate in Nonprofit Management \nThis training is approved for the WVU Continuing Education Certificate in Nonprofit Management.
