It Was a Dark and Stormy Email: Telling Your Nonprofit’s Story Online Thurs. April 9th 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM (6 hours $5 fee 1 hour networking lunch)
Kivi Leroux Miller - #12071
Telling stories about your good cause is a great way to connect with supporters, because stories are emotional, and emotions drive giving. They are also much easier to remember than facts and figures, so your supporters can easily pass them on to others for you.
During this course, you’ll not only learn how to tell your nonprofit’s stories using time-honored techniques, but you’ll also learn how to integrate stories into your online communications. We’ll review some good nonprofit stories, break down why they work, and then write some stories of your own. Then we’ll review ways to use them on your website and in your e-newsletter and social networks.
Kivi Leroux Miller, president of EcoScribe Communications and founder of Nonprofit Marketing Guide.com, consults with and trains nonprofits across the U.S. and Canada to communicate more effectively with donors, volunteers, clients, and other supporters.

A good fundraising plan focuses your agency on the most productive path toward sustainability. Step out of the day-to-day and evaluate prospective donor groups from a marketing perspective. Compare the effort and resources required for various funding methods including direct mail, special events, foundation and corporate grants. Put them together into a balanced, practical plan. We will use case studies and your situations to apply basic marketing concepts and outline steps to develop a comprehensive fundraising plan.

Board Development for Young and Growing Nonprofits May 8 9:00 am to Noon (3 hours $4 fee no lunch)
Jean Pudlo - #12070
We will explore together how a board must answer these questions for their organization: Why does this organization exist? How will we get our work done? What resources will we need and where do we find them? How well are we doing? Then, we will review a life cycle approach to how boards can organize to work well in the early stages of an organization – from beginnings to being fairly established. We will explore the dynamics of changing from a “hands-on” board to more a board with clearly separated board and staff roles leading to a more mature organization. We’ll share practical ideas on your questions about boards. Jean Pudlo serves the nonprofit community as a consultant based in Greensboro. She has over 15 years experience with nonprofit organizations, and an MBA in Public and Nonprofit Management from Northwestern University.
