We provide classes, workshops and training sessions along with opportunities to attend convenings, peer roundtables and other issues-driven events that help you learn, forge collaborations and gain insights that grow your skills and amplify your impact.
Learn how updating your nonprofit’s Candid profile on GuideStar will grow your organization’s online identity and choose what tens of millions of potential donors see about your organization.
During this introductory session, you will learn what your nonprofit’s Candid profile is and how you can earn Seals of Transparency associated with that profile to tell your story, including sharing information about the work you do and the impact it makes. We will also talk about how to collect demographic data for your organization and the benefits of earning a Gold Seal of transparency.

When preparing a grant application, proposal writers often spend the bulk of their time on program descriptions and other written elements, while treating budgets as ancillary. This can be a costly mistake. Proposal budgets tell an important story: Error-free budgets and line items aligned with project descriptions instill in grant makers confidence that a nonprofit manages its money well.
Join us for a 75-minute webinar to learn smart ways to use budgets to demonstrate your organization’s sustainability, strength, and sound fiscal management.
At the Chronicle of Philanthropy, we strive to host accessible and inclusive events. This session includes live captioning and ASL interpretation. To request other accommodations, please email copevents@philanthropy.com or call 202-466-1032.
This webinar is worth 1.25 CFRE credits.
