Getting someone to say “yes” to volunteering is just the beginning.

What happens next can shape whether they feel useful, supported, and connected to your mission. Spend Thursday morning with Deb Thompson and Karen Rugare exploring how to build the structure behind a volunteer program that can support meaningful, long-term engagement.

What video has been sitting on your nonprofit’s “we should really make that someday” list?

The mission video? An upcoming event promo? A volunteer recruitment piece? Something for your year-end fundraising? A quick story showing your impact?

Pick one.

At our upcoming workshop with Chris Norris and Chantel Rodriguez, you’ll spend the day turning that idea into a short video with support from people who can help you figure out the story, capture the footage, and edit it together.

Leadership development shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all.

Anchor & Ascend is a year-long virtual leadership cohort with dedicated tracks for Emerging Leaders and Established Leaders, giving participants opportunities to grow alongside peers with similar experiences. Monthly topics rotate throughout the year, and enrollment is always open — so there’s no need to wait for a new cohort to begin.

Choose from two 45-minute virtual sessions:

1️⃣ October 21 at 12:00 PM

Perfect for new board members—or anyone who could use a reset on the fundamentals.

A fundraising forecast should answer more than “How much do we want to raise?”

It should also help you answer:
➡️ Where will that revenue come from?
➡️ What are we reasonably confident about?
➡️ What still needs to happen?
➡️ When should the money come in?
➡️ Are we on track—or do we need to adjust?

On October 27, Nicole Reitzell, our Director of Consutling Services, will help nonprofit fundraisers and executive directors build forecasts that can answer those questions. RSVP here: bit.ly/4xR3DLu

Good company, great conversations, and a delicious lunch! 🍽️

On Friday, we gathered at Bethesda Lutheran Services' Leadership Center for another Mission & Ministry Meet-Up, where we connected with fellow nonprofit and faith-based leaders over lunch served by Bethesda's Snack Shack Food Truck. Thank you to Bethesda for hosting us!

Interested in more opportunities to connect and learn alongside your peers? We're currently collecting interest for our 2027 501(c)(3) Community Cohorts! Whether you're a faith-based leader or someone interested in group learning, these cohorts bring together nonprofit professionals working in similar areas to share experiences, exchange ideas, and learn from one another throughout the year.

Volunteers may be ready to help—but is your organization ready for them?

A successful volunteer program needs structure behind the scenes. Volunteer Connect: Running a Nonprofit Volunteer Program will help executive directors, program leaders, and others overseeing volunteers take a closer look at what needs to be in place before, during, and after someone raises their hand to help.
