Webinar looks at donor

engagement during crises

Candid will host a webinar titled “Cultivating

Donors in a Time of Crisis” on June 11 at 2 p.m. ET.

According to organizers, the COVID-19 crisis and

associated economic fallout has already had a tremen-

dous impact on the nonprot sector, and promises

more to come. But nonprots can’t let the fear and

uncertainty of the moment stop them from pursuing

their missions. This webinar—to be led by Jessica

James, founder of Jessica James Consulting LLC—

will give attendees the tools to create opportunities

for donors that will allow them to remain connected

to their mission and inspired to give. Attendees will

also learn strategies for maintaining and growing their

prospect pipeline.

Upon completion of this training session, partic-

ipants should be able to:

• craft on-brand messages for individuals, corpo-

rations or broader audiences that speak to the pain

of the moment and the necessity of giving to your

organization;

• continue developing a pipeline of prospects

despite the economic climate; and

• conceptualize innovative ideas for both socially

distanced volunteer opportunities and fundraisers.

Fees for this event are $25.

Charityhowto.com webinar

explores grants research

The nonprot resources website Charityhowto.

com will host a webinar titled “Finding a Needle in

a Haystack: How to Successfully Research Grants”

on June 18 and June 24 at 3:00 p.m. ET.

According to organizers, researching potential

grant funders is a critical step in the grant-develop-

ment process, and having a solid understanding of

a potential grant funder’s funding history, current

priorities, and application and funding process are

critical to winning a grant.

However, grant funder research involves much

more than contact information and deadlines. It

includes understanding funding trends, priority

interests, types of support provided and geographic

focus, among other things. This webinar will help

attendees identify strong funding matches, create a

plan for the year ahead and ultimately set them up

for grant funding success.

Led by grant writing expert Diane H. Leonard, this

webinar will discuss how to best use the most common

paid databases utilized by U.S.-based nonprots for

foundation research and integrate that research with

free research tools in order to draft an initial grant

strategy. Participants will learn how to use proven

tools and strategies to successfully compile the var-

ious information and documents collected during

the research process in order to create a prioritized

proactive grant-seeking strategy.

Fees for this event are $87.

Candid webinar offers corporate

giving intro

Candid will host a webinar titled “Introduction to

Corporate Giving” on June 24 at 2:00 p.m. ET.

According to organizers, corporate grantmakers

differ from traditional foundations in many ways.

For nonprots looking to the corporate sector for

support, it’s crucial to understand these differences

before approaching companies for support. This we-

binar, led by Lori Guidry and Samantha Peddicord,

Candid’s network engagement managers for the West

and Midwest regions, will provide a basic overview of:

• the different types of corporate giving,

• what motivates corporations to give and

• how to nd potential corporate partners.

Upon completion of this webinar, attendees should

be able to:

• dene different types of corporate philanthropy

and their motivations and

• learn how to nd information about different

types of corporate philanthropy.

This webinar is free to the public.
