Have you ever been to a training and after attending the training said to yourself, “That was not directed at me, I didn’t get much out of that.”?
I think we have all been there. Now imagine you are running a small company. You do everything! Human resources, marketing, operations, programs and services, public relations, communications, web copy, purchasing, book-keeping, recruiting, management, networking, etc. You do all this in about 10 hours a day. How do you determine if a training is going to be worth it? Wouldn’t it be helpful if you knew that your presenter understands who you are and what your challenges are with implementing any teachings of the training?
Well that is just what the Educational Series for Small Nonprofits does for local leaders of small charities!
Denver Gives recruits presenters on topics that local small nonprofits have stated they would like more information about and then works with those presenters. We want the presenters to understand their audience and to make sure that there are at least 5 takeaways that the attendees can do immediately following the training to make in impact on their organization. And we do all of this at NO COST to small local charities.
Here is what one organization had to say about one of our trainings:
“It is a great opportunity for us to get information and resources we couldn’t normally afford. Thank your for focusing on small non-profits!”
