MVNC Workshops and Events

MVNC workshops provide Island nonprofit staff and board members with the essential tools, skills and resources they need to keep their organizations running. Since 2020, MVNC has hosted over 65 online webinars or in-person workshops. 

MVNC also hosts regular gatherings and events that provide nonprofit staff and board members with the opportunity to socialize, connect, skill share, and network. Past MVNC events have led to multi-organization partnerships like the formation of ArtsMV and Healthy Aging MV that continue to tackle systemic Island issues today.

Yearly Programming: 

Each year we host over 20 webinars, networking events, information sessions and convenings for our nonprofit community. Many topics depend on the yearly feedback of our nonprofit community. However, there are several events and topics we re-visit each year as part of our core programming. 

1-2 hour webinars on the following topics:

  • Nonprofit compliance
  • Human resources 101
  • Employment law
  • Fundraising Series (2-3 independent topics)
  • Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
  • 3-4 additional topics depending on nonprofit feedback

convenings:

  • Executive Director Cocktails (Sep/Oct)
  • Island Nonprofit Collaboration Speed Dating (Feb)
  • Fundraising networking and roundtables (3x year)
