Virtual Learning Opportunities


Ethical Storytelling with Giant Squid Group

Fundraisers play an essential role in the nonprofit sector. However, the language they use when crafting narratives around those in need can be problematic. The traditional approach often portrays donors as heroes and the recipients as victims, which reinforces negative stereotypes and promotes dependency. Transform your fundraising by learning the basics of ethical storytelling.

Presented by Giant Squid Group

A Donor Stewardship Conversation

We all know that donor stewardship is important, but what exactly is it? How do you know if your donors are feeling loved and appreciated? How often do you need to connect with them? In this conversation, you’ll hear from Piper Stege Nelson, Executive Director at I Live Here I Give Here in conversation with local nonprofit representatives and will come away inspired to enhance your donor stewardship practices.
