SUMMARY:If This…Then This (Effingham)
DESCRIPTION:In light of the COVID-19 outbreak\, this event has been cancelled. We are currently determining whether or not we will be able reschedule this workshop for a later date. Please check back soon for updates.  \nHaving raw data on your organization’s impact is essential\, but how do you turn that data into a story and leverage it to best achieve your goals and mission? This workshop will teach you to develop an evaluation framework grounded in your strategic plan that will help you tell the story of your impact. Participants will think critically about the data they gather for their organization\, potential data they need to show progress towards goals and strategic directions\, and learn how to report data convincingly to stakeholders and funders to make key decisions. \nProgram Fee: $15 Members of Forefront. $25 Non-Members (Members must log into the Forefront website to obtain their discount.

SUMMARY:Building Your Board’s Capacity to Fundraise
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis program has been cancelled. \n  \nAcross all sectors\, board members must take on a greater role in fundraising for their organization to position them for growth and sustainability.  Yet most board members step into their roles without having the big picture and core skills to become a highly effective fundraiser.   Inevitably\, many board members approach this important role with reluctance and a transactional mindset.  Through this workshop\, we will show participants how to shift their board’s perspective on fundraising so that they have greater enthusiasm and commitment to building deeper relationships and driving greater results. \nWe will review the board’s roles and responsibilities in fundraising and help board members feel more at ease with fundraising.  We will explore why fundraising is a team sport and Identify the various ways the board supports a high performing fundraising team.   As we breakdown the elements of successful fundraising\, participants will learn how to tell their story\, respond to objections\, and practice the ask.  Most importantly\, they will learn how the board can be impactful in fundraising even without making an ask.  We will provide quick assessments so that participants can determine what’s working well and what needs improvement in their fundraising process.  Participants will walk away with an action plan to help them focus on how to strengthen the board’s impact on and commitment to fundraising. \nProgram fee: $35 Members of Forefront / $160 Non-members \nForefront is offering additional board-related programs in 2020 focused on recruitment\, diversity and inclusion\, structure and process\, and performance and culture. \n  \nReminder! Forefront is moving!\nThis program will be held in the Forefront conference room at our new office in the FBRK Impact House:\n200 West Madison\, 2nd floor\nChicago\, IL 60606 \n*Please note! Registration is required for this program and a government-issued I.D. is necessary to gain access to the building.  Please allow extra time to clear the security desk.* \n  \nClick here for our cancellation policy.
