Hartford Public Library Free NFP Workshops

I've been to a few of these workshops at the Hartford Public Library and I have always found it time well-spent. I've learned a few things and also seen what other NFPs are in the landscape. All are held in the Program room on the 3rd Floor.

Planning for Continuation & Sustainability with presenter Kathy Frederick, Frederick Consulting
Wednesday, November 3, 10:00 am - noon.
Offered in partnership with the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, this workshop looks at the transition between grant-funded initiatives and what will (should) remain in place after inception funds run out. Sustaining your initiatives requires leadership, persistency and a plan. This workshop will enable you to think and act more strategically in demonstrating the sustainability of your initiative(s) and will offer suggestions on planning for program continuation.

Legal Issues of Fundraising and Revenue Generating Activities with presenter Priya Morganstern, Pro Bono Partnership & Reed Risteen, BlumShapiro
Wednesday, November 17, 10:00 am - noon
Is your organization properly registered to conduct fundraising and appropriately reporting the donations it receives to the IRS? Do solicitations contain required disclosures? Are the proper acknowledgements being provided to your donors? Are you generating income from a business venture? Do you owe taxes on such income? Attend this workshop to protect your organization's tax-exempt status and to ensure that your organization is operating within the legal guidelines for nonprofit fundraising and revenue generating activities.

Building and Sustaining Your Nonprofit with presenter Martey Rhine, Management Solutions & Resources
Wednesday, December 8, 9:00 am - noon
This workshop is offered in partnership with the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving.
No matter how worthy your mission is to serve others, you will be more successful if you are operating from a solid foundation. If you are a small nonprofit organization and you want to enhance your knowledge of what it takes to build that solid foundation, this workshop is for you. We will cover the basics of building a board, budgeting, operational planning, marketing, and fundraising - all the building blocks your nonprofit organization needs. At the conclusion of this workshop you will have tools, templates, and references for taking the action steps to effectively structure your nonprofit organization and enhance your ability to achieve the mission.
