Nonprofit 101 Bootcamp
Running a nonprofit is hard work. It requires specific skills and expertise to make the organization successful. INIE is here to help you tackle that challenge. Welcome to Nonprofit 101: INIE’s 1-day bootcamp designed specifically for those wanting a focused overview of nonprofit operations. Topics include: Formation and Compliance, Accounting and Budgeting, Communications, Fundraising, Board Relations, and Strategic Planning.
Board Recruitment Mixer
The mixer serves as "speed dating" for those who are interested in serving on the board of a nonprofit organization. Both existing and rising leaders in the community will have the opportunity to mix, mingle and "court" participating nonprofits for the mutual opportunity to serve. This event is offered exclusively to INIE Members-organizations who are seeking board members. Visit MyINIE.org to confirm the event details.
Nonprofit Principles
Nonprofit Principles are courses providing a high-level study or workshop experience on a specific fundamental element of operating a nonprofit organization. This is a 6-class series offered for free to nonprofit members. Three classes take place in the Spring and Fall. Upon successful completion of all 6 classes, the nonprofit leader receives a certificate of completion.
