Canva for Fundraising | Part 2

Tuesday, March 17 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

Presenter: Arkayla Tenney-Howard, Wildflower Communications

You don’t have to attend the first workshop to attend this one! A baseline knowledge of the basic uses of Canva will be helpful in this session. 

Building upon the first workshop, this time we will dive deeper into some special tools in Canva that make sustaining your comms work easier. Things like building a brand kit, saving templates, and more. By the end of this session, you will have a brand kit built in Canva AND you will have a template for all of your fundraising posts on social media.

Thursday, March 19 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

Thursday, April 2 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (CST)

Presenter: Rachel Morgan, St. Louis Crisis Nursery

What might shift if the way we engaged our boards reflected the same values that guide our work in the community: listening deeply, working in partnership, and honoring the voices closest to the impact? Board engagement rarely begins with a campaign, it begins with relationships. This workshop invites nonprofit leaders to explore practical ways to build authentic connections with their boards, bring their voices into campaign planning, and create meaningful opportunities for engagement around efforts like GiveSTL.
