Sharing this opportunity with my network, taking place on May 2nd, 2024: "Nonprofit Bootcamp for Directors and Senior Professionals at Columbia Law School The environment for nonprofits has never been more challenging. While navigating a shifting legal and societal landscape, nonprofits grapple with a host of knotty problems stemming from economic inequality, growing social and political fragmentation, challenges to free speech, rapid technological change, climate change, and other existential threats on a global scale. To advance their missions in these challenging times, nonprofits depend on board members and senior professionals for effective leadership. Join us for an intensive training session on how to be more effective. This program is designed for new and veteran board members and senior professionals. Our experts will share insights, lead lively discussions, and introduce you to other distinguished nonprofit trustees and professionals. Key topics: What are the newest and most pressing challenges facing nonprofits? What are my and my institution's legal responsibilities? What landmines can lead to institutional or personal embarrassment or liability? How can I help allocate resources wisely, innovate, and cut costs? How can I help enhance my nonprofit’s fundraising? What is the right allocation of responsibilities between board members and professionals?" https://lnkd.in/e_mZ2dCm

Emotion drives giving- Tell compelling stories Stories have the power to turn abstract causes into personal missions. By sharing compelling narratives about the people and communities your nonprofit serves, you create an emotional bridge that connects potential donors to your mission. These stories give faces and voices to the impact of their contributions, making the cause tangible and real. When donors feel the emotion behind a cause, whether it's hope, urgency, or compassion, they're more likely to be moved to act. Use stories to highlight the challenges you face, the progress made, and the lives transformed. This is how we inspire generosity and long-term support of our cause.

Nonprofit organizations must be bold in establishing processes and practices that successfully connect the institution’s mission and services to people, resources, and ideas. Transformative connections emerge in organizations where there is a focus on communication, community, continuity, and collaboration. We like to think of these “connective” elements as the “four C’s” and much like the game Connect 4, success is achieved when these pieces line up in a meaningful way. “Connect For” is the 2024 conference theme and invites attendees to consider what they are “connecting for” as they fulfill their respective roles as nonprofit leaders, team members, board members, and volunteers. We are accepting presentation proposals that build off the “Connect For” theme to address one of three program tracks described below. We are eager to review proposals that emphasize the wide range of connections that help nonprofits, their teams, and communities thrive. The Request for Proposals (RFP) is open through midnight on Saturday, June 1, 2024. Learn more and submit a proposal at the link below. https://lnkd.in/g5embsJn
