SUMMARY:How to Keep Charitable Nonprofits and Houses of Worship Protected from Partisan Politics
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is hosted by the National Council of Nonprofits. \nAugust 26th\, 3:00 – 4:00 PM \nRegistration Fees: FREE \nREGISTRATION\nRegister today to join the National Council of Nonprofits for a national webinar on Tuesday\, August 26 at 3:00 pm Eastern to learn more about efforts to undermine federal protections for charitable nonprofits\, including houses of worship\, against partisan politics and the dark money that fuels it. \nWithout this protection\, politicians may try to pressure charitable nonprofits to endorse their election campaigns\, exert control over nonprofit organizations’ mission and the services they provide\, and funnel tax-exempt charitable donations to their election war chest. These efforts could radically alter campaign finance laws to benefit politicians at the expense of charities\, houses of worship\, and foundations\, severely damaging the integrity and effectiveness of the entire sector and our elections. \nSpeakers will discuss why it is critical for charitable nonprofits\, including religious organizations\, to remain nonpartisan and how nonprofits can take action to ensure these vital institutions remain a trusted space where people can come together across political\, religious\, and cultural divides to solve local problems. \nPlease note that each registration is unique and will allow only one login to the webinar. If you utilize an automated AI note-taking app\, you may run into issues if that AI note-taker logs in before you do.

Best of all\, you can do this while keeping your familiar chart of accounts intact for board reporting and internal use. \nYou’ll learn how to:\n\nset up custom line items in QBO that mirror your grantor’s required budget and reporting categories;\nrecord grant revenue and expenses using these line items and assign them to the appropriate grant;\nenter a grant-specific budget using these line items instead of your standard accounts;\ngenerate grant-specific reports that match your funder’s required format; and\,\nuse the billable feature in QBO to generate reimbursement invoices automatically.\n\nWho should attend:\nThis is an advanced-level webinar. Come prepared to dive deep\, ask questions\, and have some fun along the way! \nAfter the webinar\, you’ll receive:\n\nslides and handouts; and\,\na link to the webinar recording.\n\n\n\n\nDate\nThursday\, September 18\, 2025 – 2 PM EDT\n\n\nDuration\n90 Minutes\n\n\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Leading Nonprofits Through the Twists and Turns
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is being offered by The Chronicle of Philanthropy.\n\nOctober 8th\, 1:00 – 3:00 PM \nRegistration Fees: $159 \nREGISTRATION\nLeading Nonprofits Through the Twists and Turns\nMaintaining Momentum\, Leading Hard Conversations\, and Supporting Teams Through Turbulent Times \nWednesday\, October 8\n1:00 – 3:00 PM ET\n\nThe nonprofit sector today is under deep strain — the work feels more urgent than ever\, but the way forward is anything but simple. Nonprofit leaders are expected to stay calm\, communicate clearly\, and keep things moving … even when they’re not sure what’s coming next. Some days\, the strain shows up loud — pushback on a decision\, clashing priorities\, a tense conversation you didn’t see coming. Other days\, it’s quieter: a team stretched thin\, a community on edge\, a funder or partner asking for certainty you can’t honestly give. \nThis workshop offers a chance to step out of survival mode and rethink what leadership looks like in moments like this. We’ll explore why even well-intended efforts to create change can backfire\, how everyday tension can slide into unproductive conflict\, and how to lead others more intentionally when complexity becomes the norm. You’ll leave with practical tools\, fresh perspective\, and a bit more space to breathe. \nIn this workshop\, you’ll learn: \n\nUnderstand the distinction between healthy conflict (which drives growth) and high conflict (which derails progress)\nExplore the Conflict Foresight Model to anticipate others’ reactions before tensions escalate\nIdentify the common “elephants in the room” that prevent genuine buy-in\, even when everyone verbally agrees\nGain tools to develop responses that address both logical objections and emotional reactions to change\nEngage in creative reflection exercises that unlock new perspectives on persistent challenges\n\nRegistrants: Please bring a notebook\, something to doodle with\, and three pieces of 8.5 x 11 paper to the session. \nAbout the Speaker\nMelanie Ho\, Ph.D.\, Founder\, Strategic Imagination \nMelanie Ho is a consultant who combines more than 20 years of leadership experience with her perspective as an artist and multimedia storyteller to help organizations achieve bold transformations.
