the Touching Lives and Communities Training Video Workshops
Part I: Capacity
Building and Strategic Planning Non-profit capacity building means
knowing your mission, vision, and strategy. This workshop provides assessment
tools that can be used to determine your current level of capacity and examples
of how your organization can continually develop that capacity. Additionally,
it provides a model strategic plan and highlights how organizations have used
deliberate strategic planning and evaluation to ensure that their programs are
effective and influential.
Part II: Corporation
and Foundation Giving Non-profit leaders must both appeal to the
interests of potential funders (including corporations and foundations) and
effectively communicate the value of their program to attract funding. This
workshop shares information about researching foundations and pursuing
corporate donations; it also gives concrete strategies for raising the value of
your program in the eyes of potential funders.
Part III: Board
Development and Individual Giving This workshop includes
presentations about building a strong and effective board and about effectively
soliciting individual donations. Both efforts require an organization to gain
the commitment and investment of individuals within the community. The workshop
addresses building, diversifying, and purging your board to provide the most
effective leadership for your organization. Because individual giving
represents more than 75.8% of non-profit funding, non-profit organizations must
rely upon effective individual fundraising strategies. Your organization can
use the tools provided in the workshop to effectively solicit and plan for
individual giving.
Part IV: Government
Grant Applications and Grant Management This workshop takes you
from the application process through the management of a Department of Labor
grant. The workshop addresses how to read the solicitation for grant
applications, how to organize your application, what the review process is for
the grants, and finally, information about proper grants management for
organizations who have received Department of Labor grants. Grants management
topics include: calculating in-kind donations, fiscal and administrative
requirements, financial and cash management, cost principles, and information
about working with the Grant Officer Technical Representative (recently renamed
Federal Project Officer). For more information about grants currently available
through the Department of Labor, please visit
www.dol.gov/cfbci.
Part V: Program
Evaluation From the perspective of both non-profit staff and
potential funders, it is crucial that a non-profit organization be able to
evaluate the effect that its program has on the community. This workshop
demonstrates the importance of program evaluation, explains the logic model
using a sample program evaluation, and provides the viewers with an opportunity
to construct a draft program evaluation for their own projects.
