SUMMARY:Learn With UMC: Grantseeking with Foundation Directory Online - EVENT FULL
DESCRIPTION:THIS WORKSHOP IS FULL – Please check out the August workshop or call 236-2299 for other options \nThe July offering in UMC’s free educational series\, Learn with UMC: Grantseeking with Foundation Directory Online\, will be offered at 9 a.m. on July 12 at 87 Elm St\, Camden. Certified Expert Trainer Kelly Carey will offer an interactive\, hands-on workshop to introduce local nonprofits to the grant prospecting tools available through UMC’s partnership with Foundation Center Online. \nThere are over 140\,000 charitable foundations in the United States\, with a huge range of giving interests. Finding funders that are the right fit and making a strong approach can seem impossible\, especially to volunteer-driven organizations. The Foundation Directory Online grantseeker’s database offers incredible tools to make this process achievable. \nFoundation Directory Online offers up-to-date insight on grantmakers working in every part of the country\, in every field and interest. In-depth funder profiles and details on past giving can help nonprofits craft a strong approach to the foundations most likely to give to their cause. 100% of those who have attended an FDO tutorial at UMC say that they identified prospective new funders\, and 65% say they learned something new about a funder who is already donating to their program. Come learn how to use this database\, which United Midcoast Charities offers free of charge 5 days a week. \nThe workshop is free but enrollment is limited. This workshop is generously sponsored by First National Bank. \nPre-register or call 236-2299 with additional questions. Attendees will access the database with their own laptop or tablet\, so please bring a fully charged device adequate for about 90 minutes of online work. Coffee and morning snacks will be provided. \nAbout the presenter: \nKelly Carey is administrative coordinator at United Midcoast Charities as well the as primary coach of the Foundation Directory Online database at UMC. She loves the magic moment when a grant seeker realizes that there is LOTS of grant funding available for their work. \nTHIS WORKSHOP IS FULL – Please check out the August workshop or call 236-2299 for other options \n

SUMMARY:Learn With UMC: Benefits Options for Nonprofits
DESCRIPTION:SIGN UP FOR THIS WORKSHOP \nThe June offering in our free educational series\, Learn with UMC: Benefits Options for Nonprofits\, will be held at the Picker Room of the Camden Library at 3 p.m. on June 6.  This two-hour workshop will discuss options for a variety of nonprofit employee benefits packages. \nNonprofit boards sometimes consider employee benefits an unnecessary expense and avoid including them in their budget. However\, Maine Association of Nonprofit’s 2018 nonprofit compensation report indicates that Maine’s nonprofit wages are stagnant despite a cross-sector labor shortage. Nonprofit employees may be forced to look to other sectors to keep up with the rising cost of living.  A strong benefits package can help recruit and retain the top-quality staff that nonprofits rely on to accomplish their mission. \nLearn with UMC: Benefits Options for Nonprofits will offer the real-life experiences of a local nonprofit’s decision to offer employees benefits. Meg Rasmussen\, executive director of Georges River Land Trust\, will talk about how benefits have affected the trust’s impact as well as the bottom line. Sheila Lowe of Aflac Insurance and Sherree Craig and Abe Dugal of Allen Insurance & Financial will discuss flexible\, affordable options often requested by nonprofits. Dr. Brian Pierce of Megunticook Family Mediine will discuss how the new model of Direct Primary Care can work for employers of various sizes.  UMC staff will share research on which benefits are most desirable to employees. Attendees will learn how to improve their recruitment and retention efforts in a financially sustainable way and leave with the tools to get started. \nThis workshop is free of charge but pre-registration is required. Register here or call UMC at 236-2299 for more information. \nThis workshop is sponsored by Heal Accounting. \nSIGN UP FOR THIS WORKSHOP

SUMMARY:Learn With UMC: Track Your Impact
DESCRIPTION:SIGN UP FOR THIS WORKSHOP \nPresenters from USM’s Data Innovation Project will offer a three-hour workshop\, Track Your Impact\, to help nonprofits use data to achieve their intended impact. \nFunders of all kinds increasingly expect nonprofits to demonstrate their impact through program data. As nonprofits are expected to take on more work previously funded by the public sector and competition for charitable dollars increases\, effective data can give crucial strength to a nonprofit’s fundraising efforts. Effective use of data can improve every aspect of nonprofit impact\, from guiding strategic direction and program development to dramatically improving fundability. \nLearn with UMC: Track Your Impact will guide participants from Knox and Waldo county nonprofit organizations through the purpose and processes of developing a performance measurement approach. Attendees will define what they want to measure\, set priorities\, craft quality measurement objectives\, and learn how to foster a data-informed culture in their organizations. Attendees will leave with a firm foundation in how to build a performance measurement plan\, a clear next step\, and a workbook to support them going forward. \nThere is no cost to participate\, but space is limited so registration is required. Please register here. \nAbout the presenters: \nThe Data Innovation Project was founded with support from the Maine Economic Improvement Fund and is housed within the Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy at the Muskie School of Public Service\, University of Southern Maine. The Data Innovation Project improves Maine’s capacity for data-informed decision making by providing access to affordable information and instruction\, skilled technical assistance\, and open access to a growing body of resources. \nSIGN UP FOR THIS WORKSHOP

SUMMARY:Learn With UMC: Gift Acceptance\, Investment & Spending Policies
DESCRIPTION:Throughout 2019\, United Midcoast Charities will offer free educational opportunities on topics essential to nonprofit sustainability and impact. Our inaugural event will focus on policies that lay a strong foundation for financial stability. This series was developed in response to needs expressed by our 2018 grantees\, and our goal is that attending nonprofits will emerge equipped to make a stronger impact than ever!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGift Acceptance\, Investment & Spending Policies\nThursday\, Feb. 7\, 9-10:30 a.m.\nAllen Insurance and Financial\, Elm St\, Camden\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt United Midcoast Charities\, we hope that all local nonprofits will increase their financial sustainability over time. In the process\, donors may offer non-cash and deferred gifts for the first time. This is exciting! \nHowever\, all gifts are not equal in their financial value to your organization\, nor are they equal in value and impact from one nonprofit to the next. A gift acceptance policy that clearly sets forth your organizational position on non-cash and deferred gifts not only provides you with a roadmap to these choices\, but also places the responsibility of decision-making squarely with the board of directors\, where it belongs. Investment and spending policies define the stewardship of those gifts to support your mission and donor intent. \nPlease join us for a workshop on the hows and whys of developing your gift acceptance and investment policies with experienced gift planners Abe Dugal and Sarah Ruef-Lindquist. We are delighted to offer this opportunity to board members and executives who have a hand in developing organizational polices. Please use this link to register\, or call UMC at 236-2299 with any further questions.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is Limited – Sign up Now!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur Presenters\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSarah Ruef-Lindquist\, JD\, CTFA\nSarah believes sound\, thoughtful planning is a gift we give ourselves\, our families and our community.She is a lawyer and seasoned non-profit executive who has worked with dozens of organizations to build fiscal efficiency\, planned giving programs and endowments.
