Across this three-part Tables for Ten series on board governance, we will examine common challenges facing nonprofits boards including evaluating the “who’s who” of your board especially as it relates to the mission and vision of your organization, outlining approaches on getting the most out of individual board members today, and sharing tried and true methods of increasing board impact and effectiveness.

This Tables for Ten is beneficial to all nonprofit leaders who would like to tackle board governance head-on in the new year.

Strategy Screens Workshop – Assessing Your Program Portfolio

2019-12-03T11:06:51-05:00November 28th, 2019|Events, Training Opportunities|

Part of The Nonprofit Impact Series: 

Are we investing our resources into the right programs? Do you have a program you love, but suspect it might not be a good financial return for your organization? Yes, some programs are worth the effort even at a loss—but some aren’t. How do you determine which is which?

Answering this question is the keystone to advancing community benefit and building financial health. This workshop explores the process of screening programs against your desired community outcomes so that you can determine the best portfolio of programs to carry forward into your next budgeting and strategy window. The process builds organizational integrity and sets the stage for more sophisticated financial analysis of the work that you do.

Participants should come with both a list of organizational programs/effort and a list of general community outcomes your organization seeks to advance.

When: December 17, 9-11am
Where: The Leadership Hub, 6010 Executive Blvd, Suite 200, Rockville, MD 20852

MORE includes 2 days of training, an individual consultation with an evaluation expert, and a 2-hour follow up training, plus access to an Alumni Evaluation Group. Nonprofits participate as a team of up to four members, including senior staff, program and development directors.

Nonprofit Montgomery Community Grants Dialogue

2019-10-28T12:31:29-04:00October 28th, 2019|Events|

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear first hand about proposed changes to the County’s community grants process at our annual Grants Dialogue. In FY20 the Montgomery County Council approved $14.5 million for 335 community grants to local nonprofit partners providing services for County residents (including the County Executive and County Council grants).

Nonprofits have come to rely on community grants to expand and support essential services, and to innovate new services. Following an OLO Report on Community Grants in 2018 the Council committed to recommending changes to the program. This Community Grant Dialogue is an opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback on proposed changes before they are finalized.

With:
Carolyn Chen, Montgomery County Council Grants Manager
Joshua Watters, Budget Manager, Montgomery County Office of Management and Budget
