SUMMARY:MNCN Minnesota Grantmakers 2025
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nMinnesota Grantmakers 2025 offers six hours of fundraising data sharing and practical knowledge gathering spread over three 2-hour sessions\, January 28 & 30\, 2025. On the first day\, the focus will be on statewide grantmaking from 9:30 – 11:30 a.m. On the second day\, from 9:30 – 11:30 a.m. the focus will be on grantmakers prioritizing Greater MN nonprofits. From 1 – 3 p.m. on the same day\, the focus will be on grantmakers primarily funding nonprofits based in the Twin Cities Metro. \nHave these questions ever been top of mind for you as you consider how to get the most out of your finite and precious time raising money for your nonprofit? \n\nWhich foundations should I approach to fund my nonprofit?\nWhat’s the best way to get dollars from specific foundations?\nAre there resources out there I have yet to tap into that would streamline and amplify my process?\n\nIf so\, join this two-day workshop — one day focusing on Statewide funders\, the next on Twin Cities Metro and/or Greater MN funders — designed for organizations in all parts of the state of Minnesota to hear well-informed\, external analysis and critiques from your nonprofit peers. You’ll also gain insight into trends\, staffing\, program shifts\, and financial outlooks of dozens of Minnesota grantmakers. \nThe workshop will include information about some of Minnesota’s most active private\, community\, and corporate foundations. This session is a time to dig beyond the grantmaker websites and to hear candidly from your peer grantseekers about their experiences and knowledge about working with various foundations and other funders. \nIn addition\, registrants will receive a complimentary copy of MCN’s digital 2025 Minnesota Grants Directory\, which includes editable note pages for each foundation. [Note: Those who face barriers to access due to socio-economic status\, disability\, geography\, and/or technological accessibility\, are able to request one of a very limited number of hard copy directories. If you qualify\, please contact info@minnesotanonprofits.org.] \nWhether you’re an executive director\, a board member involved in fundraising\, or a fund development staff person\, this information-packed workshop is a great way to expand and enliven your funding prospects for 2025. \nRegister Through the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits

SUMMARY:MNCN Universal Design in Mind: Inclusive Program Development and Communication
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nWorkplaces and organizations want their services and programs to be high quality\, accessible\, and inclusive.
