    Language matters. Sometimes, even with the best intensions, we say or write the wrong things, which might inadvertently offend or exclude donors and other supporters. Are you looking to communicate with sensitivity in order to better engage donors and avoid exploitive language?

    During this panel you will hear from panelists about how to improve your communications and keep up with ever-changing descriptors for various groups. We will go over examples of communications that went awry. Bring your questions!

  • Raise More Money and Scale Your Impact by Replacing Strategy With a Strategic Framework

    Many nonprofits struggle with strategic planning. Nonprofit strategic plans tend to be 5-year plans with vague objectives, 10+ goals, and almost no concrete action steps. Yet, these plans guide organizations and end up leaving them rudderless, confused and many times with a weak budget.

    In this workshop, Sarah Olivieri of PivotGround will advocate for the use of a strategic framework instead. What is the difference between a framework and a plan? While a framework adapts to change and guides through iteration, a plan is typically a list of inflexible steps. Plans do not account for new priorities/changed directions while a framework can support you in heading in a different direction. During this session, we will dive into the Impact Method™, a strategic framework designed for nonprofits. The Impact Method™ was created as a way to break down your big audacious goals into clear, easy-to-understand components.

    Participants can expect to learn:

    • the compounding positive effects of utilizing a strategic framework
    • the 3 key elements of a strategic framework
    • how to set better goals

    SPEAKER: Sarah Olivieri, PivotGround

What our members are saying after attending our programs:

“I was able to get approval on increasing the frequency of an event from every two years to annually, and helped increase online giving by 12% through crowdfunding for a climate change research organization.”

“A fundraising audit prompted the creation of our first annual report…which led to three times the $$$ on our annual appeal. (And we won a design award for the report as well!)”

“I’m engaging my donors as I like to be engaged: thoughtfully, respectfully, a dash of humor, and building the relationship – and the gifts are coming!”

“I am watching our board and staff move from skepticism about being able to raise money to being engaged and empowered.”
