This document discusses the benefits of board diversity for non-profit organizations. It argues that board diversity can strengthen revenue in three ways: 1) by building stronger boards through recruiting new members, balancing idea leaders, and team building activities; 2) through a case study that shows how increasing board diversity and engagement helped increase fundraising for a non-profit by 400%; 3) by framing board recruitment as an "invitation" to build a team. It also presents a board diversity impact grid to understand how different professions may view the organization differently and how to engage them. The overall message is that board diversity can provide new perspectives and ideas to strengthen an organization's work and fundraising.
How people want to spend their volunteer time is changing. What volunteers are looking for today, and will be looking for tomorrow, is different from what volunteers wanted just a few years ago. Whether you're looking to invite volunteers into your organization or send employees out into the community as volunteers this session can help. 2015 VolunteerMatch Summit attendees learned how to design opportunities that provide the right experience for volunteers by rethinking the work (and the way it's talked about), focusing on the impact of the work, and thinking about the skills, experiences and characteristics of the "right" volunteer for the role.

Lisa will approach the topic from a continuum perspective, beginning with finding new donors, and concluding with exquisite stewardship once they have given."

As the charity sector continues to manage the impact of the pandemic, many charities are facing financial uncertainty. In this context many senior leaders, to ensure their charity’s sustainability, will be considering collaboration and merger. In this webinar, in association with Bates Wells, we aim to answer questions such as: When should a charity in crisis consider merging? What are the alternatives? How can you make the best decision for your organisation? You will also hear about a new online decision-making tool which will help organisations chart the options open to them in a tight financial spot.
How deeply should the CEO and board trustees of a nonprofit be involved in fundraising?
Apparently still a question for some! Yet transformational advancement is all about leaders…leaders…leaders!

Why, when and how to plan and take an institution’s fundraising to higher levels of accomplishment is the focus of this session. To help grow philanthropy, participants are asked to present current questions and concerns and to share insights, ideas and creative ways to transform fundraising efforts, considering challenges to
• Share your story of value.
• Recruit and coach fundraising leaders.
• Build a generous board.
• Mine giving records.
• Sustain conversations and thanks to make “asks” happen.
The focus here is not good, better or best, but virtuosity in institutional advancement.
A 7-step process is outlined to help begin a transformational trajectory within 100-days that maximizes your institution’s potential for success.
Women do business differently in some ways than men. Women entrepreneurs face different challenges, and approach problem-solving in some different ways. We also need to practice leadership skills and abilities, for all areas of our lives.
Leadership is a PROCESS, rather than a destination. That's why it is considered a practice, always evolving. Here are some starting places, as suggested by some experts in leadership. Pitfalls that are not the exclusive purview of women (but neither are they uncommon) are also included.

MPWS Building a Culture of Philanthropy Training for FundraisersMatthew Wasserman
When development operations are out of sync with the rest of the organization, fundraising can be even more challenging. However, when members of your organization understand and embrace your development work, you can better engage more donors and your whole organization benefits.
This training focuses on bringing your colleagues from other departments into fundraising and creating collaboration in your efforts by breaking down silos and building bridges for your colleagues to cross into the realm of philanthropy.
