Today's nonprofit landscape is ever-changing. We anticipate an extended period of unpredictability that may affect funding, staffing, and ultimately the communities that we collectively support. Taking the time to think strategically about the future is more important than ever. The Community Foundation of Greater Des Moines invites nonprofit staff and board leaders to join Ask an Expert, a virtual series designed to provide insight, tools and actionable strategies to navigate uncertainty with confidence.  
 
Each session features an industry expert who will spend the first portion of the hour offering guidance on critical areas impacting nonprofit success. The second half will be an opportunity to ask the expert your questions. Upcoming Ask an Expert sessions include:

  • Tuesday, May 6 | HR & Organizational Strategy – Connectify HR will share insights on managing and supporting teams during times of change.
  • Tuesday, May 13 | Advocacy & Policy Engagement – Bethany Snyder, Snyder Strategies, will explore how nonprofits can effectively advocate for their mission and engage with policymakers.
  • Tuesday, May 20 | Communications & Storytelling – Andy Garman from Wixted & Co. will discuss how to craft compelling narratives that resonate with stakeholders and strengthen support.

All sessions are held virtually from 11:30 A.M. – 12:30 P.M. making it easy to participate from anywhere. You can join for one, two or all sessions. This is a valuable opportunity to step back, think strategically, and start putting plans in place to help your organization adapt and thrive in uncertain times.

Join us and take the next step in strengthening your nonprofit’s future.
