inexpensive tools to engage supporters, staff, and the people you serve.

media share what worked and what didn’t. Advocates and outreach educators
show best practices—and some not-so-good ones. To register call 608-262-2451 or toll free 800-725-9692 or register online.

Legal Issues for Nonprofits
Wisconsin’s more than 31,000 nonprofits can benefit from—or be hurt by—all
kinds of accountability rules. Are you trying to form a tax-exempt, nonprofit
organization to accomplish social ends? What do you need to know? What
corporate structure should you choose? What are your legal and ethical
obligations? Some of the area’s most knowledgeable attorneys and nonprofit
leaders share their advice on liability and risk management, employment
issues, confidentiality, conflict of interest, and other topics you request. To register call 608-262-2451 or toll free 800-725-9692 or register online.

Storytelling for Fun and Nonprofit
Want to raise money? Get a grant? Persuade people that you are doing
important things? The statistics and research you offer can help. But more
and more, you need stories to make the emotional impact required to attract
others to your mission. Elements of storytelling can be the key to success in
fundraising, websites, speeches, annual reports, marketing, and teaching and
training. Hear from raconteurs and storytellers with pizzazz and compassion.
Listen and watch how this works!

Nonprofit Finance: What’s Your (Triple) Bottom Line… and How Can You Manage it Well?
Nonprofit accounting has its own set of standards and lingo. It also requires
some specifically tuned techniques for making good decisions, preventing
problems, and telling your story by the numbers. For non-bookkeepers,
treasurers, board members, and others, this basic introduction can help build
understanding for accountability. To register call 608-262-2451 or toll free 800-725-9692 or register online.

Finding Funds: Using the Foundation Center and
Other Online Resources
Learning who might be interested enough in your work to give you money
is probably easier than you think. Wisconsin has some of the best resources
in the country for nonprofits, and you can learn basic search techniques that
will help you identify and prioritize the sources you need. Many foundations,
corporations, and individuals are likely to support you if you understand what
they do and approach them in the right way. To register call 608-262-2451 or toll free 800-725-9692 or register online.
APRIL 12
Collaboration Across Boundaries
Small nonprofits and larger ones are now discovering that joint ventures,
partnerships, and even mergers make more sense than going it alone. They
consider working together not only to survive, but to find assets and resources
that they otherwise couldn’t tap. And they often learn that a new energy
arises from unexpected sources. Social entrepreneurship makes it possible to
generate new revenue and capitalize on business acumen, too. But what do
you need to know to decide how to proceed—alone, or in partnership with
people you trust? To register call 608-262-2451 or toll free 800-725-9692 or register online.
MAY 10
Nonprofit Innovation for Survival and Success
It takes more than clever public relations, suggestion boxes, and wild guesses
to transcend the normal challenges of nonprofit work to improve things.
Creativity becomes innovation when you can implement the steps to achieve
your goals in new ways. Whether your motivation comes from a passion for
excellence or compassion, a compelling need, or an exciting opportunity,
innovation may be required…and then a plan to adapt to the new order. Learn
case histories, an inventory of techniques, and inspirational stories.
To register call 608-262-2451 or toll free 800-725-9692 or register online.
