How to Build a Training System, One Useful Program at a Time
2026-05-06 13:00 - 14:00
How to Build a Training System, One Useful Program at a Time

You know training is important, but building a system that meets all of your training needs can feel too big to tackle. When time is short and capacity is limited, it’s easy just to keep patching things together without a clear plan, and the results are usually inconsistent. The good news is that you do not need to build everything at once. A strong training system can begin with one audience, one priority, and one well-planned program at a time—whether that program focuses on onboarding, safety procedures, service standards, or another pressing need.
In this webinar, we’ll walk through a simple process for building that first program. You’ll learn how to choose where to start, define a clear outcome, identify what the program needs to cover, and gather the content you can reuse, adapt, or create. We’ll also look at how to shape the program itself: what pieces to include, how to organize them, and how to keep the first version focused and realistic. Rather than aiming for a perfect training system from day one, you’ll learn how to create one useful program that solves a real problem and gives you a foundation to build on.
Finally, we’ll talk about rollout and maintenance so your plan can move into practice. You’ll leave with a step-by-step framework for building a manageable training program for staff and volunteers, along with a clearer way to think about training as a system that can grow over time. Whether you are starting from scratch or trying to add more structure to existing training, this session will help you take the next right step.
By the end of this webinar, you’ll be able to:

Choose one audience and one training priority to focus on first.
Define a clear outcome and identify what a training program needs to cover.
Build a manageable plan for launching one useful training program and grow from there.

Register now to leave with a clear starting point and a repeatable approach for building your training system one useful program at a time.

How to Build a Lead Magnet That Actually Acquires New Donors

Email list growth is often treated as a design problem or a copywriting exercise, when it’s really a research problem.
In this workshop, participants will be led through a practical, research-led approach to building lead magnets designed specifically for digital acquisition. Drawing on donor data, competitive analysis, and search behaviour, the session will explore what makes a lead magnet truly “ad-ready,” how to avoid common pitfalls that undermine conversion rates, and how to validate ideas before investing in paid advertising. This is ideal for organizations looking to grow their donor base in a sustainable, cost-effective way while aligning digital strategy with long-term mission impact.

Facing Difficult Leadership Challenges for Executive Directors

Being an executive director can be incredibly rewarding—but it can also be one of the loneliest jobs in an organization. You’re expected to have answers, make difficult decisions, navigate competing priorities, and carry the weight of the mission, often with few places to openly process the challenges that come with the role.
Join us for Facing Difficult Leadership Challenges for Executive Directors, an interactive Ask the Experts webinar created specifically for nonprofit leaders who want a safe space to ask tough questions and learn from peers who have been there. Whether you’re wrestling with board dynamics, staff challenges, burnout, organizational change, fundraising pressures, or simply the isolation that can come with leadership, this conversation is for you. Bring your questions, hear real-world perspectives from experienced nonprofit leaders, and leave with practical insights, fresh encouragement, and the reminder that you don’t have to lead alone.

Guest Speaker: Deena Englander, Tamela Spicer, and Jim Irwin with Meghan Speer

2026-06-24 13:00 - 14:00
The ‘Dirty Word’ Your Nonprofit Can’t Afford to Ignore:A Guide to Advertising

Let’s be honest – when someone says advertising, most nonprofit leaders flinch. It feels corporate. It feels expensive. It feels like something other organizations do.
But here’s the truth: if your mission matters, people need to hear about it. And hoping word spreads on its own isn’t a strategy. In this candid, practical webinar, we’re cutting through the confusion around what advertising and marketing actually mean for nonprofits and what they don’t. Whether you’ve avoided the topic for years or you’re simply not sure where to start, this session will reframe the way you think about getting your mission in front of the right people.
You’ll walk away understanding

Why “advertising” isn’t a dirty word – and why avoiding it may be costing you donors, volunteers, and visibility
What nonprofit advertising actually looks like at your budget and scale
How to talk about promotion internally to get everyone on board
