  At the heart of your nonprofit organization is a unique, driving story that can transform your fund development, board recruitment, talent retention, volunteer management, and relationship to the community. Do you know your story and how to communicate it well at all levels, both internally and externally?
  

  Whether embarking on a capital campaign or raising funds for your annual campaign, EVERY nonprofit should have a case for support (CFS).  Your CFS provides your organization’s mission and history. It communicates the community need and how your organization responds to the need. And it presents the vision for the future and how the gifts of current and prospective donors create hope for the future.  
  

  The CFS is the foundation of all of your donor focused communications and is a valuable tool not only for anyone who is helping raise money for your organization, but also for any current or prospective donors as well.
  

  
  

  Session Goals— 

  This three-hour workshop is designed to help participants understand the CFS’s role in telling your organization’s story and why it is essential for successful fundraising.  

  Goals will include the following:

  • Key elements in a CFS
    
  • Process for writing the CFS
    
  • Length of the CFS
    
  • Difference between the “internal” and “external” CFS
    

  
  

  Designed for—
  

  The session will provide beginner communication and fundraising staff guidelines for producing a strong CFS and as a refresher for more seasoned staff charged with developing a CFS.

  1:00p - 4:00p

  Resilience - The Biology of Stress & the Science of Hope

  
  

  Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Training is designed to help you develop the unique skill set needed to support individuals who have experienced adverse childhood experiences and traumatic events.  Researchers have recently discovered a dangerous biological syndrome caused by abuse and neglect during childhood. As the new documentary Resilience reveals, toxic stress can trigger hormones that wreak havoc on the brains and bodies of children, putting them at a greater risk for disease, homelessness, prison time, and early death. While the broader impacts of poverty worsen the risk, no segment of society is immune. Resilience also chronicles the dawn of a movement that is determined to fight back. Trailblazers in pediatrics, education, and social welfare are using cutting-edge science and field-tested therapies to protect children from the insidious effects of toxic stress—and the dark legacy of a childhood that no child would choose.

  Financial Management for the Non-Financial Executive—

  On top of everything else, you need to build a budget (what’s the purpose of a budget if I don’t have any money?), manage a budget, build in controls and oversight (wait – what does GAAP stand for, again?), create and follow financial policies (How in the world do I know how much money I actually have?) and support a treasurer and a finance committee (Ack!  It’s time for an audit!).
  

  Most nonprofit executives did not arrive in their positions through a path of accounting and finance experience. Many bookkeepers have had limited experience with nonprofit best practices (yup – it’s different than for-profit). 

  Designed for—
  

  Appropriate and relevant for executives and board members or staff who manage finances and are seeking solid guidance on building a budget, managing expenses and income, and understanding the controls that will help you feel more confident as the caretaker of your organization's resources and assets.

  Victoria Reese, Capacity Builder

  
  

  

  
  

  A native of Battle Creek, the words of William Keith Kellogg resonate strongly with Victoria. “I’ll invest my money in people.” Although she doesn’t have the money, she invests her time and talents to build capacity in leaders and their organizations.

   

  With 26 years of mission-driven work experience encompassing equity, social justice, and expanding economic opportunities for vulnerable populations, Victoria has been at the forefront of many community development opportunities. 

  
  

  Victoria has a niche for moving programs from inception to fruition and has developed and expanded several programs. She is actively engaged in community initiatives, serving on numerous agency boards, committees, and coalitions. 

  
  

  Victoria holds a Master’s Degree in Public Administration from Western Michigan University, is a certified professional coach, and certified Bridges Out of Poverty Trainer.

  
  

  
  

  Tom Williams, Capacity Builder

  
  

  

  
  

  Tom is a Capacity Builder who sees nonprofit organizations from a “team” perspective—many moving parts, each having a significant role to play in mission accomplishment.  When each member masters their individual role, the ultimate success of the team comes down to how well the players interact.  Capacity building is about enhancing this role clarity, increasing team member skills and assisting the team to relate more effectively among themselves and with the community.  

  
  

  Building on his time as an Executive Director, Tom has been working with nonprofits since 1996 to enhance these key capacity building areas through individual coaching sessions, group facilitation and topic-specific workshops.

  
  

  Tom delights in contributing to individuals, groups, or entire teams having a breakthrough toward a stronger team.  From his perspective, it’s these strong, results-focused teams that realize change in their communities.
