SUMMARY:WVU: Nonprofit Sustainability and Social Entrepreneurs in Small Towns and Rural Communities
DESCRIPTION:Karen Harper-Dorton\, PhD\, MSW\, Professor\, WVU School of Social Work \nCEUs: 3 Social Work hours; 3 CECNPM hours (Core Area: Resource Development – Financial Resource Development) \nRegistration Fee: $35 (Early bird rate of $31.50 by September 12\, 2014) \nTarget Audience: All levels of practitioners  \n1.6 million nonprofit agencies in the US had huge financial challenges during the economic downturn beginning in 2007 and lasting into 2010. Employing social workers throughout the world\, the nonprofit sector has long been the arena for serving public good through donations\, volunteers\, and whatever social services bring revenue such as child care centers and contracts with departments of social services. This workshop will clarify changing social enterprise efforts\, provide examples of social entrepreneurship\, and raise action opportunities for macro social work practice. Threats and opportunities become identified as nonprofits act to manage financial risks and may open avenues such as fundraising\, retaining donors\, utilizing Internet tools\, and integrating campaigns and special events in efforts to sustain operations.

Case examples of innovative nonprofit efforts will be utilized to facilitate discussion. \nLearning Objectives: At the conclusion of this workshop\, participants will increase understanding of the scope and functions of the nonprofit or third sector; consider new hybrid models of social enterprise entities with both mission and profit potentials in the spirit of self-sustainability and evaluate case examples of unique and successful efforts of innovative nonprofits serving rural and small town populations.

SUMMARY:Volunteer WV: Strength-Based Grant Writing
DESCRIPTION:[WVNPA Members save $50. Read below for details.]\nStrength-Based Grant Writing is intended to help build new capacity for nonprofit organizations.

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?

SUMMARY:Bust the Overhead Myth: Own Your Own Costs
DESCRIPTION:[Presented by the National Council of Nonprofits and Jitasa]\nDo you know how to properly account for the costs of your nonprofit’s programs and activities? Your mission matters.

Guest presenter: Jeff Russell\, CEO and founder of Jitasa\, an accounting and bookeeping firm dedicated to helping nonprofits thrive. \nThis basic level webinar is for nonprofit finance committee members\, bookkeepers and accountants\, executive directors\, and others who manage or oversee financial operations at a charitable nonprofit. \nRegister today!
