While it’s critically important to report back to your donors on all that your organization has accomplished in the past year, you can think outside of the annual, glossy, printed, multi-page, data-packed annual report.

We can all admit that 2020 was the weirdest year of our lifetimes, and so much of what we thought we knew we had to re-think. In reporting back on what our organizations accomplished last year, perhaps we also need to re-think the annual report and embrace other ways of showing our donors the impact of their giving.

In this 90-minute intensive, we’re going to be diving into how you can create an effective impact report for your organization that will stand out in 2021.

We’ll explore:

• Annual reporting best practices and the best ways to measure and communicate impact.
• New ways to tell the story of your nonprofit, and (most importantly) be transparent with donors about what your organization accomplished amid an unprecedentedly difficult year.
• Learn from real outside-the-box + most successful annual report examples to inspire new formats for reporting.
• How to incorporate your annual report into your year-round donor cultivation and stewardship processes to help you increase donor retention. 
• + more

You’ll come away with the top insights and skills needed to create an effective impact report that will stand out to today’s donors.

Who the class taught by?

Taught by Kelly McLaughlin: Your NonproFIT Coach

Kelly is an independent fundraising consultant based in the Washington, DC area. She has spent over a decade learning from some of the best, biggest, and brightest nonprofit leaders in the industry…and then figured out how to make their systems and practices work for small nonprofits—the ones with tiny budgets, too few staff members, or other resource restrictions.

She pairs this expertise with principles of behavior change management—learned from her years as a fitness trainer—to make sure that the changes her client organizations make stick and contribute to long-term growth.

Starting her career, Kelly oversaw an individual giving program that went from raising $300k annually to $1 million annually in just four years. Since then, Kelly has worked with a range of nonprofits, from multi-million dollar budgets to volunteer-run groups, from political advocacy to arts education, from international aid to local historical societies.

Data analysis is something most fundraisers know they should be doing, but getting started seems impossible: there’s too much data, too little time, and running the numbers sounds overwhelming.

If you don’t know where to begin when it comes to analyzing your donation data to inform your fundraising strategy – do we have the class for you.

We’re launching the Intensive: Data Analysis and Key Performance Indicator (KPI) Intensive: Using Data To Chart A Better Course.

This class will help you make good projections for the coming year by taking a look at what you’ve raised, how effective your past fundraising efforts have been, and how to track your success moving forward.

In this 90-minute intensive, we’ll break it all down in easy steps. You’ll learn how to:

• Run a standard statistical analysis on your fundraising data to determine the key trends in your fundraising efforts;
• How to determine the true cost of each of your fundraising efforts;
• How to establish and track key performance indicators for your fundraising operation;
• Understand the real impact of knowing and measuring your fundraising success.
• + More

You can’t improve what you don’t measure. To set goals and make decisions that will move your fundraising operations (and your mission) forward, you have to learn to identify both where you are succeeding and falling short.

This intensive aims to demystify the process of data analysis, help you figure out the most meaningful statistics you should be tracking, and identify qualitative metrics to help put data into context.

You’ll be surprised how easy it is to analyze your data to optimize your fundraising for the year!

This intensive class is a key addition to any training you’re seeking in fundraising planning and individual giving.

Nearly one-third of annual giving occurs in the month of December alone. 

But, many organizations fail to plan ahead, leaving money on the table and making year-end one of the most dreaded times for fundraisers.

• Plan an organized, multi-channel campaign;
• Select what channels (email, social, mail, telephone) will work best for your fundraising operation;
• Tools and tricks to manage your campaign without adding more work;
• Get the most out of your mail, email, and social with copywriting tips;
• Measure your success and course-correct if needed.
• Incorporate #GivingTuesday into your year-end plan
• + so much more

It leaves you with a pit in your stomach, thinking, “How am I going to make up for all those lost funds?”

But there is a way forward! You can start by building your individual giving program at your nonprofit.

Individual giving is both intriguing and intimidating if you’re a new nonprofit or trying to diversify income an organization that has historically been funded by foundations.

There are so many types of individual giving:

• Do you do traditional or digital?
• A membership program?
• A major giving program?

What do those terms even mean?! Donors don’t grow on trees, so how do you find them and attract them to your mission?

It’s hard to know where to begin, but the good news is that there are some clear, concrete steps you can take to start building and growing your individual giving program today!

In the 2-hour, hands-on intensive, Getting Started With Individual Giving, you’ll learn:

• Basics of annual planning for individual giving.
• Where to find donors and how to attract them to your mission both off and online
• The stages of the donor pipeline and how to get started building your pipeline
• Types of solicitations and ways to ask individuals to give
• Tracking your program and how to scale up
• + more!

The process of building an individual giving program may seem overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. You can get started with a couple of spreadsheets and a written plan, but to grow sustainably, you need to plan ahead for success!

This intensive will show you how!

Who the class taught by?

Getting Started With Individual Giving is being taught by Kelly McLaughlin: Your NonproFIT Coach.

Kelly has spent a career learning from and digesting the best practices put out by the best and biggest in the nonprofit industry…and then figured out how to make their systems work for small nonprofits—the ones with tiny budgets, too few staff members, or other resource restrictions.

She pairs this expertise with principles of behavior change management—learned from her years as a fitness trainer—to make sure the changes your organization makes stick and contribute to long-term growth at your organization. Kelly has worked with a range of nonprofits, from multi-million dollar budgets to volunteer-run groups, from political advocacy to arts education, from international aid to local historical societies.

You may have read that first paragraph and are thinking, “I don’t have time for that, I have to make sure that we have money for next month!” Counterintuitively, focusing on long-term stability and predictability in your fundraising operation can also help you focus on what matters most in the current moment to help your current operations be more successful.

What are the things that can make your fundraising operation more sustainable? This webinar will teach you the power of:

• Diverse funding streams.
• Clear priorities.
• Defined policies and procedures.
• Secure and logical storage of institutional knowledge.

For too many organizations, fundraising operations are focused on what is most urgent, which oftentimes isn’t what is most important. How do you know if this is a problem for you and your organization? If you feel that…

• …your organization jumps at every new trend, every new tech tool, or every promise of quick cash.
• …you can never get ahead of a fundraising cycle (eg: you’re planning your year-end campaign in November).
• …you don’t think the cost (in time or money) is worth the return you are getting on your fundraising.
• …you are constantly exhausted and can’t find the energy to keep your operation going.
• …you are new to fundraising, and you’re not sure where to begin.

Working toward a sustainable fundraising operation isn’t something you can plan to work on when things slow down or when you finish that next campaign. It’s something you must do each and every day, one piece at a time.

Fortunately, this webinar will teach you what you need to look for and aim for to make your fundraising operation more sustainable. And it will break what can feel like a huge project you must tackle at once into a manageable, bite-sized process that you can incorporate into your daily and weekly tasks.

Registration is available on an ongoing basis for $35.

You’ll receive a recording of the interactive class to watch on-demand.
