Learn about Salesforce’s donation program and how your organization can use the platform to track donors, programs, and volunteers.
COVID-19 has shifted the focus of all companies. Nonprofits are no different. For some it is how to continue to fulfill their mission while still following CDC guidelines, for some it is reevaluating the budget to anticipate decreased funding due to increased unemployment, or how to handle the increase in need for services.
Take the time to step back and look at how you can become more efficient with technology with Sarah Epting, Founder of Technopath. If you are struggling to keep track of loads of giant spreadsheets, searching through emails to find key conversations with constituents, or feel like your technology tools are confusing and cumbersome, this workshop is for you.
In this session learn how to use Salesforce for:
• Donation Tracking and Acknowledgement
• Portfolio management and major donation engagement
• Grant Tracking and reporting
• Summary of other features like program management, volunteer management, email integration and outcome measurement.
Join us virtually on Thursday, September 24th!

Grant funding is a great way to support and expand your programs, but it’s a notoriously frustrating and confusing process.
The DIY Grant Writing Program presented by Grants Ink © in collaboration with The Center for Social Change is focused on providing nonprofit and fiscally-sponsored organizations a clear cut practical framework on how to find, acquire, and sustain grant funding that can be put into action right away! When we’re done, grant writing will go from being a stressful and mundane task to an empowering way for you to increase impact and make a real change in your community!
Part One: Overview of the basics of grant research and writing.
Part Two: Overview of grant funding strategy and best practices.
Part Three: Practical application of grant writing and research. In this 2-day, intensive workshop we’re putting pen to paper and giving you the opportunity to craft your own tailored research report, choose a grant to apply for, draft the application, present your case to our “funding board”, and receive real-time feedback on your proposal! The best part is that you’ll have enough completed at the end of the two-day workshop that you’ll be able to submit the proposal for real funding! You can attend part three even if you did not attend part one and/or part two!
