Training Up Nonprofit Leaders
The Challenge
In our globally competitive workforce, individuals are drawn to workplaces prioritizing positive work environments and opportunities for growth. Organizations that invest in leadership development through training their nonprofit leaders attract and retain talent while bolstering financial outcomes.
- 45% of workers are more likely to stay in their role if they receive training
- 68% of employees say they prefer to learn and train at work
The Solution
Johnson County Community Foundation (JCCF) noticed trends in areas of learning opportunities for their grantees. TCG partnered with JCCF to facilitate the Elevate Impact 2024 Nonprofit Training Series. The goal of this training series was to support passionate nonprofit leaders and organizations with the knowledge, skills, and inspiration needed to drive positive change in Johnson County.
Our comprehensive nonprofit training workshops equip leaders with the tools they need to continue to make a lasting impact.
Nonprofit Leaders Training Series Topics Included
- Getting the Most Bang for Your Board
- Effective Strategic Planning
- Strategic Planning Implementation
- Evaluation 101
- Using Data to Tell Your Story
- Fundraising
Our Role
- Developed and planned 6 training sessions with a cohort of local nonprofit leaders based on client feedback and the needs of the nonprofits
- Facilitated six in-person, three-hour, highly engaging, and practical training sessions that directly addressed the challenges of nonprofit leaders. Each session included peer learning time facilitated by our team to encourage peer connections and allowed time for participants to hone in on their next steps.
- Created a training survey to evaluate effectiveness and understand continued needs, which was shared with participants after each training session. We then analyzed the results and used the feedback to inform the next session.
The Outcomes
- Six trainings were developed for more than 30 nonprofit leaders to build their capacity.
- Each nonprofit leader walked away from each training with professional development materials, such as tools, templates, and handouts.
- Participating organizations completed training assessments to determine each training’s effectiveness and identify their continued needs.
- Nonprofit leaders had opportunities to connect with their peers to share learnings, challenges and insights.
- JCCF staff had time to debrief the project with TCG to discuss what went well and what could be improved within each training.
