One of the essential segments of working in the nonprofit sector is education through various types of events. Trainers, consultants, lecturers, and event managers, should always be aware of the current standards, trends, and digital tools which lead to a more significant transfer of knowledge. However, it’s not all about what you know, but how you deliver your expertise to your listeners, attendees, and everyone involved in your e-learning events.
In this workshop, you will learn how to successfully organize online events in simple, efficient ways and through free and paid digital solutions. You will also realize the power of digital transformation, how to adjust your e-learning events in today’s virtual conditions, and how to strategically deliver your knowledge to maximize your performance.

Nowadays, people want to access tools that will help them solve the problems they care about. The experience of using these tools will be the strength and value of the modern nonprofit. It's still essential to inspire, raise awareness, and give supporters a place to get involved. All of this (whether it's donating $10, signing a petition, or sharing a piece of content) implies CRM knowledge – because you can't manage relationships with your community and donors without a CRM platform. With us, you will learn about the untapped potential of the data your organization holds and become aware of an open-source solution and the process of CRM implementation, which will help you impose CRM solutions into your organization's workflow.

Your nonprofit's design concept and strategy can dramatically affect the way people view your organization. The presentation, clarity, and even the colors will influence the way people understand and engage with your content. Your design may also determine whether the public and potential donors form a positive first impression of your organization. With us, you will learn basic design concepts and how you can use them to your advantage: whether it's for social media posts, documents, or email marketing templates. Your organization's design is crucial, and we will teach you how you can make your online presence even greater than before.
