2025-10-30 13:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | WEBINAR
Description:
An organization’s ability to understand, measure, and communicate about its impact is more important than ever. Funding depends on it. So does internal decision-making. Yet many nonprofits still struggle with outcome measurement. Struggle no more! This workshop will cover what outcome measurement is (and what it is not), offering practical steps you can take right away.
In this workshop, participants will:

Use a structured logic model as a framework for identifying and measuring the expected changes/benefits of your programs and services
Differentiate and see the relationship between activities, outputs, outcomes, and indicators
Develop meaningful, appropriate, and practical measures for your outcomes
Share your findings with internal and external stakeholders

This workshop is best suited for: Program managers, Executive directors, Fundraising professionals, Evaluation Staff

Supervisory Essentials: Managing People and Leading Teams
2025-11-18 10:00 - 2025-12-09 12:00 | WEBINAR
3-Part Webinar ( Attendance to all three workshops encouraged)
Certificate Program: Executive Leadership; Leadership & Supervision
Description:
Is there a difference between the skills and qualities that earned you the manager role and those that will help you effectively lead your team? Many leaders and managers supervise staff by the seat of their pants or based on the management styles and characteristics of leaders they admire or based on what they did not like in their own supervision.
Through discussions, case studies, and interactive activities, you will learn skills and techniques to match your leadership style to the needs and behaviors of your team, promote success, and build a team culture of collaboration, empowerment, and trust. Now offered as a three-part series of three 90 minute sessions, this training will also touch upon supervision with an equity and inclusion lens as well as managing teams remotely. This training is designed to provide leaders with an action-oriented framework that increases both the quantity and quality of performance conversations by matching an individual’s readiness level for a specific task with the appropriate leadership style.
In this workshop, participants will:

Learn how to foster healthy working relationships with direct reports, teams, supervisors, and colleagues particularly amidst the stressors of the current operating environment;
Analyze their own and staff members needs in terms of “readiness” to undertake and successfully accomplish tasks
Establish a process for creating working agreements, setting and communicating expectations, and providing and receiving effective feedback
Explore the common pitfalls leading to miscommunication
Examine why one technique does not work for every person; leadership style is driven by the situation
Improve capacity to effectively supervise, coach and mentor

This workshop is best suited for:

New supervisors
Anyone who wants to improve their supervisory skills

NOTE: This workshop should be taken prior to all other workshops for Leadership & Supervision Certificate enrollees. This workshop is also included in the Executive Leadership Certificate program. Attendance to all 3 webinars is required for certificate enrolled.

Effective Delegation: Generating Collective Responsibility
2025-12-10 13:00 - 15:00 | WEBINAR
Description:
In a work setting, delegation typically means the transfer of responsibility for a task from a manager to a subordinate. The decision to delegate is usually made by the manager. However, sometimes an employee will volunteer to take on an expanded role. Delegation can also happen when there is a less formal chain of authority. Please join us as we explore a mix of emotional intelligence, skills, tools, and methods to enhance this critical skillset.

Description:
This two-part workshop series equips executive directors, senior fundraisers, and board members to elevate board performance and unlock stronger fundraising results. Whether you bring your board members with you, or attend and use the tools you’ll receive to move your board forward, these sessions are ideal for any board member and nonprofit leader focused on building more resilient organizations.
Materials and tools are only available to participants.
Session One: Beyond Bylaws: Governance in Action – Turning Board Duties into Real-World Leadership and ED Partnership
Turn your board from a box-checking body into a powerhouse partner. In this session, you will crack the simple (and often overlooked) secrets of good governance and see how the fiduciary duties of care, loyalty, and obedience translate into everyday behaviors that actually move the needle for your organization. You’ll connect governance and board–staff partnership directly to your ability to scale impact and grow revenue, discovering how clear roles, aligned expectations, and consistent habits become the hidden engine of high performance. You’ll walk away with practical frameworks, ready-to-use language, and actionable tools that renew your own clarity and confidence—and give your entire leadership team a sharper line of sight to your organization’s most important goals.
Session Two: From Surviving to Thriving: Transforming Board Service into Confident Fundraising Leadership
Unlock your board’s full fundraising potential in this hands-on, interactive session designed to build real confidence and practical skills. Part two empowers nonprofit executives and board members to become mission champions who open doors and secure critical resources with authenticity and ease. You’ll craft compelling stories that inspire and invite action and support. You’ll master the art of any ask—from casual invitations and warm introductions to pointed advocacy and direct solicitations. You’ll leave with a toolkit that makes board service feel more meaningful, purposeful, and impactful. This session will transform how your board engages with fundraising, bringing focus and momentum to your organization’s resource goals.
Note: Attendance at Part One is required for participation in this transformational second session.

The Leadership Continuum: A Holistic Approach to Transition
2026-04-21 13:00 - 15:00
Description:
Leadership transitions are inevitable. But rather than something to dread or avoid, they should be embraced. When organizations approach transition with foresight and intention, they turn a potential challenge into an opportunity.
This webinar will be focused on the Leadership Continuum: succession planning, interim leadership, data-driven search, and committed onboarding. By understanding and applying the Leadership Continuum, nonprofit leaders will:
Be prepared for leadership change, focusing on organizational objectives and balancing immediate needs with structured growth;
Understand the return on investment of objective assessment and analysis;
Develop a succession planning process that provides a roadmap when transitions happen;
Understand how to address the short-term organizational needs related to the loss of a leader while perparing for long-term leadership that is sustainable and agile;
Drive the process and allocate time, rather than act out of reactive urgency;
Actively partner in searches that are aligned with the organization and its stakeholders need, capabilities, and goals;
Commit to thorough onboarding, ensuring successful and productive new leadership integration.
Transition is opportunity. Be ready.

Culture Change in Nonprofits: from fuzzy concept to practical action
2026-09-03 10:00 - 2026-09-10 11:30 | WEBINAR
Description:
Many nonprofit leaders know their organization needs to change -especially given the pressures we are under. Fewer know where to start. And when people say “we need to change our culture”; that phrase often creates more confusion than clarity.
This two-part workshop takes culture change seriously as a management challenge, and treats it as one you can actually work on. The workshop is intended for nonprofit EDs and senior leaders; not just for the Heads of People & Culture. Board members will also benefit by learning about their role in organizational culture formation. You will leave with a clearer sense of what organizational culture is, how to recognize it in your daily work, and what you can do to shape it.
The sessions are grounded in the current pressures facing nonprofits: the need to rethink programming, revenue strategies, and operating models. Culture is not separate from those challenges. It either supports the direction you need to move in, or it works against it. Across the two sessions, you will explore what organizational culture actually consists of and how it shows up in practice. You will examine the gap between the culture your organization says it has and the behaviors people see day to day. You will work with practical tools to influence culture as a leader or manager, and learn how to track whether change is actually
taking hold. And you will leave with a clear view of the first steps to take when you return to work.
The sessions draw on individual reflection exercises, take-home worksheets, and small peer group discussions where you will apply what you are learning.

You’ll leave with a toolkit that makes board service feel more meaningful, purposeful, and impactful.

Building Your 2027 Fundraising Strategy: An Executive Workshop for Sustainable Revenue Growth
2026-11-17 13:00 - 15:00 | WEBINAR
Description:
As 2026 closes, the organizations that outperform in 2027 are the ones that act now—with clarity, precision, and a fully informed strategy.
This high-impact, 2-hour executive workshop is designed for nonprofit leaders who are ready to turn year-end performance into a focused, data-driven fundraising plan for the year ahead. With your full 2026 results in hand, this session will guide you in making critical strategic decisions before calendars reset and opportunities are lost.
Year-end is not just a reporting milestone—it is your most powerful planning moment. Organizations that rigorously analyze performance and finalize strategy before Q1 consistently see stronger revenue growth, driven by sharper retention strategies, more effective donor acquisition, and better-aligned resource allocation.
What You Will Walk Away With
– A clear, executive-level view of your 2026 performance. Assess your results against current sector benchmarks, including donor retention, online giving trends, and overall revenue patterns shaping 2027.
– Insight into what will drive your 2027 results. Identify where your fundraising program is overperforming, underperforming, and where immediate strategic adjustments will yield the greatest return.
– High-impact strategies you can implement immediately. Leave with three proven approaches to accelerate revenue early in the year, including lapsed donor reactivation, monthly giving conversion, and channel optimization.
– A proven strategic framework. Move efficiently from year-end analysis to a diversified fundraising plan, incorporating digital growth, donor retention, and emerging funding opportunities.
This is a working session for leaders responsible for results—not a theoretical discussion. Use the live Q&A to refine your approach, with full access to the session recording and materials for your team.
Your 2027 results will be shaped by the decisions you make now. Make them count.
