The Confident Board Member: Mastering Nonprofit Finances
This is a practical, leadership-focused, 5 session course designed to equip any nonprofit leader with the tools they need to manage finances wisely, prevent fraud, and build strong cross-functional relationships. Participants will explore essential financial roles and responsibilities, reading reports with clarity, and leading budgeting processes with strategy and transparency.
Setting the Board Up for Success
If you're in the nonprofit sector and feel like you're presenting to the board instead of strategizing with them, this webinar is for you.
This webinar was designed for nonprofit executives and board members, accounting and finance leaders, as well as anyone else who want to stop managing board reactions and start shaping board conversations. You'll leave with a clearer understanding of why boards behave the way they do around financial information and exactly what you can do about it.
Intro to Bookkeeping for Nonprofits
This class covers the basics of bookkeeping and implementing workflows and systems to help you organize your nonprofit financials.
This is a virtual class and eligible for a Nonprofit Skills Certificate.
Strong bookkeeping gives nonprofit leaders the clarity they need to make informed decisions, build trust, and stay focused on their mission. In this 3-hour class, participants will learn the basics of nonprofit bookkeeping and why these concepts matter even if they are not handling the books themselves.
Mental Fitness for Leaders: Quieting the Inner Critic That Gets in the Way
Brian Vogel introduces mental fitness: meeting challenges with clarity and calm instead of stress or self-judgment.
Leaders are asked to make clear decisions, manage pressure, support their teams, and stay steady in moments that are often anything but steady. The challenge is that the biggest source of friction is not always the budget, the board, the staff, or the strategy. Sometimes, the biggest source of friction is the soundtrack in our own head.
In this practical session, Brian Vogel will introduce the concept of mental fitness: the ability to respond to challenges with more clarity, calm, and purpose instead of reacting from stress, fear, frustration, or self-judgment. Participants will learn how common internal patterns can quietly affect decision-making, communication, resilience, and leadership presence.
The session will offer a simple way to notice these patterns in real time, interrupt them, and shift toward a more constructive response. No prior knowledge of mental fitness is needed. This will be an accessible, useful conversation for nonprofit leaders who want to better understand what gets in the way of their best leadership and how to begin changing those patterns in everyday moments.
An AI & Cybersecurity Survival Guide for Nonprofits in 2026
Artificial intelligence offers incredible opportunities for nonprofits to amplify their impact, from automating grant writing to streamlining donor engagement. In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore the top AI tools to save time and accelerate your mission.
However, cybercriminals are also using AI to launch sophisticated scams. We will break down modern security risks without confusing jargon.
The good news is that building resilience starts with smart governance, not a massive budget. Together, we’ll draft an organizational AI policy during this session, and you’ll leave with actionable security tips and a concrete framework to safely navigate the future of AI.
Leadership Development on a Shoe String Budget: Building the Future-Ready Nonprofit
In most purpose-driven organizations, leadership is “accidental”. High-performing employees get promoted to manager without the training to actually lead people. The result? CEO’s and Executive Directors are stuck in the weeds instead of focusing on strategy. This interactive discussion will provide the tools and framework to develop leaders at all levels, even on the tightest budgets.
Nonprofit AI: It's Easier Than You Think
This time, Neil is putting the theory down and turning on the screen. Using a fictional $20 million community foundation built for the occasion, he will run live demos of Claude doing the tasks your team actually does every month:
Coding the credit card
Writing the variance narrative
Building the CFO dashboard
Producing a full board finance packet
Every number ties, every output is something you could hand a board, and you will see exactly how it is done. There will be time at the end for Q&A — and as always, you do not have to catch up. You just have to start.
