    Walk through a process to develop a very robust Transition & Continuity Plan designed to help your Board and staff navigate change.

    For Animal Welfare Professional members of The Association only. 

    Is your organization ready for your departure? Very few organizations seem to have thorough plans for leadership succession.  A transition in any senior leadership position, planned or unplanned, brings challenges that can throw an unprepared organization into chaos. Thinking through key decisions ahead of time and committing those decisions to writing can head off serious problems.

    Join The Association’s CEO, Jim Tedford, who will walk you through the process he used to develop a robust Transition & Continuity Plan designed to help our Board and staff navigate a CEO departure.  Should he leave through termination, voluntary or involuntary, disability, retirement or —heaven forbid— death, the planning document will minimize stress and maximize the likelihood of a seamless transition. 

    Jim will guide you through the planning process including how to approach the topic with your board, what might surprise you in the process, and how to develop your own Transition and Continuity Plan document. In addition to guided mentorship from our CEO, you can commiserate and brainstorm along with your colleagues during this impactful hour.

    DESCRIPTIONS:

    Identify and Cultivate Meaningful Partnerships

    Connectedness has never been so important in the nonprofit sector. Effective partnerships have a lot of advantages, including making your applications more appealing to funders. But successful partnerships rarely "just happen." They usually require strategic steps and resources to reach their highest potential. Therefore, you need to think about both developing and managing collaborations. Alice Ruhnke, President of GrantStation, will give you details about the different collaborative models your nonprofit can engage in to increase your odds of getting funded. The webinar will cover these specific topics:

    • Types of partnership models;
    • Considerations as you work within each model;
    • Examples of successful collaborative efforts; and,
    • How you can proactively manage partnerships.

    Maximize Growth by Partnering With Businesses

    Business and corporate support for philanthropic activities can be an integral part of your overall funding strategy. However, businesses give in different ways. Some have corporate foundations while others provide sponsorships, matching funds, product donations, or volunteer time. This diversity makes it difficult to determine the best way to strategically position yourself to be competitive for corporate support. GrantStation President Alice Ruhnke will share strategies you can use to add corporate donations to your organization’s funding portfolio. You’ll walk away with an understanding of the driving forces behind corporate giving strategies so you can develop approaches to attract support from diverse businesses. You’ll learn:

    • The different models of corporate giving;
    • How each model could benefit your organization; and,
    • The best ways to pre-position your organization to be successful when asking for and obtaining support.

    Increase Your Impact Through Nonprofit Partnerships

    Nonprofit organizations frequently forge partnerships to enhance their impact, pool resources, and more effectively meet their objectives. Collaborating with other nonprofits—from social service agencies and educational institutions to healthcare organizations and the media—can unlock powerful synergies, broadening the scope and reach of your efforts. Alice Ruhnke will help you optimize nonprofit collaborations. This session will explore seven critical factors essential for forging effective partnerships:

    1. Mission Alignment: Ensuring a shared vision and values is the cornerstone of any successful partnership.
    2. Complementary Strengths: Leveraging the unique strengths and resources of each organization can lead to greater collective impact.
    3. Clear Goals and Metrics: Establishing specific objectives and ways to measure success keeps the partnership focused and accountable.
    4. Open Communication: Maintaining transparency and ongoing dialogue ensures alignment and builds trust.
    5. Defined Roles: Clarifying each party's responsibilities prevents overlap and ensures efficiency.
    6. Cultural Fit: Harmonizing organizational cultures or finding ways to bridge differences is crucial for smooth collaboration.
    7. Legal and Financial Due Diligence: Addressing legal and financial implications upfront avoids complications and ensures a stable partnership foundation.

    How to Cultivate Local Government Support

    Working collaboratively with local and state governments could be a win-win situation for your organization. These entities tend to have larger sums of money to distribute, so their support can be an avenue to sustaining your organization. However, partnering with any level of government can feel intimidating to nonprofit organizations, especially those without much experience. The systems for partnering with government are different in their timing, bureaucracy, and processes than those for applying to foundations. These partnerships are seldom a “quick fix” but instead a longer-term strategy. Alice Ruhnke will show you the steps and resources you need to create these impactful relationships and grow your organization.  You’ll walk away with an understanding of how to position your organization to maximize public benefits. You’ll learn:

    • The benefits of partnering with local and state governments;
    • The steps you need to take to partner with local and state governments;
    • How to use your organization’s deep knowledge of community needs, reach, and existing relationships; and,
    • Common obstacles and possible solutions.

    Unlock Partnerships With Financial Institutions

    Financial institutions play a pivotal role in local economic development and are often keen on supporting initiatives that align with their mission to foster community growth. Working alongside community banks can open up new avenues for funding, volunteer engagement, and community outreach. Alice Ruhnke will help you build relationships with your community banks. You’ll be introduced to the various ways in which partnering with different financial institutions can help your nonprofit access financial resources, gain financial literacy, and leverage local networks to amplify your impact. Even if you already have banking relationships, this session can help ensure you’re maximizing those relationships. You’ll learn:

    • The different types of financial institutions and the pros and cons of working with them;
    • How the Community Reinvestment Act can benefit you;
    • The actions you need to take when researching banks in your community; and,
    • Recommended steps to develop, maintain, and grow relationships with your community banks.

    Partner with Communities of Faith for Social Impact

    In the pursuit of expanding their impact, nonprofit organizations are continuously seeking new and innovative partnerships. One avenue of collaboration that holds significant promise is with communities of faith. Alice Ruhnke, President of GrantStation, and Aretha Simons, President of Multiplying Talents, will delve into the dynamic potential of partnerships between nonprofits and faith-based organizations. You’ll see the transformative power that arises when these entities unite for the betterment of society. During the session, we will explore:

    • Strategies for identifying potential faith-based partners that align with your organization's mission;
    • Navigating the complexities of faith-based collaboration with respect, sensitivity, and inclusivity;
    • How partnering with faith-based organizations can reach a broader audience; and,
    • How partnering together can enhance programs and initiatives.
