Nonprofit Leadership Initiative

Looking for trusted guidance on all things nonprofit? One of the resources we frequently recommend is the National Council of Nonprofits’ resource library. Whether you’re navigating financial management, HR, fundraising, or exploring how to start a nonprofit, you’ll find hundreds of free tools, articles, and templates designed specifically for nonprofit organizations.

The nonprofit sector is constantly evolving, and having reliable information at your fingertips can make all the difference. This is a resource worth bookmarking!

Today our team decided to get out of the office, worked remotely from a cute coffee shop in Oshkosh, and visited recent Leadership Institute graduate Liz Last, Executive Director of Oshkosh Healthy Neighborhoods.

Liz gave a tour of their beautiful new offices and filled us in on the recent neighborhood development work they've been doing in the city of Oshkosh. We can't wait to see the vision come to life over the next few months!

Happy Friday, everyone!

Advocacy continues to be a key topic identified through our February nonprofit listening sessions. From individual and issue advocacy to policy, sector, and brand advocacy, nonprofits shared a strong interest in learning how to effectively engage and amplify their voices.

We're excited to share this webinar hosted by the Goodman Nonprofit Center. This is a great opportunity to learn more about what advocacy and communication with congressional leaders can look like for nonprofit organizations.

Join the Goodman Nonprofit Center for a complimentary webinar offered by district office congressional staff, Morgan Salli, Field Representative at Congressman Mark Pocan’s (WI-02) Office . This presentation serves as a guide to how organizations and individuals may engage with their congressional office. We will cover everything from the scope of congressional office casework, what constituent services in a congressional office look like and how people can make their voice heard.

This presentation is educational and only in connection with the Congressman’s official office. After the presentation, participants will have ample time to engage in Q&A with Morgan Salli.
