NPW EVENT RECAPS

 

Thank you to Neighbors Link for a fantastic Emerging Leaders Session on Thursday, May 4th. The ELPers learned a little bit of everything on strategic planning, financials, fundraising and communications through interactive discussions and surprising metrics. 

Afterward, ELPers enjoyed some delicious Cinco-de-Mayo-themed food and networking. Thank you to our program sponsors: Mutual of America Financial Group and Hudson Valley Credit Union. Learn more about the ELP Program.

On Wednesday, May 10th, we wrapped up NPW's Grant Writing Learning Lab. Thank you to grant writing expert Alison Paul for coming back to teach Year Two of the program - we are so grateful to have you.

And a BIG shoutout to our Learning Lab sponsors: Westchester County Government, Westchester County Board of Legislators, and the Westchester Community Foundation. Thank you for investing in Westchester's nonprofit capacity building. And thank you Westchester Library System for providing a great learning space.

NPW's Grant Writing Learning Lab is an interactive, comprehensive grant development course that provides participants with the tools to develop proposals reflecting the quality, impact, and unique value of their organization’s work.

This program is a part of NPW's Learning Labs, which also consists of Financial Management and Meaningful & Manageable Outcome Measurement. These programs were designed to build nonprofit organizational capacity, develop individual skills and enhance effective and efficient client services.

On Friday, May 11th over 60 participants joined NPW for our event focusing on Organizational Culture, Hiring & Retention Issues to gain insight from the next generation of nonprofit leaders. The discussion was led by Kerry Flynn Barrett of Flynn Barrett Consulting and featured our amazing panelists - all nonprofit leaders under the age of 35:

  • Dante Hudson, YWCA of White Plains & Central Westchester
