SUMMARY:Grant Writing with Impact: Using Data to Strengthen Your Case
DESCRIPTION:Nonprofit organizations play a critical role in addressing community needs\, yet many face challenges in clearly articulating those needs and demonstrating their impact in grant applications. While organizations often collect valuable program data and have access to publicly available data sources\, they may lack the tools\, confidence\, or capacity to effectively translate that information into compelling\, data-informed narratives. As a result\, strong programs can be overlooked for funding—not due to lack of impact\, but due to an inability to clearly communicate needs and outcomes. \nThis workshop is designed to address that gap by equipping nonprofit leaders with practical\, accessible strategies to confidently use data in their grant writing. Participants will leave with guidance on how to identify\, gather\, and apply both publicly available data and their program data to strengthen grant proposals. \nBy the end of the session\, participants will learn to: \n\nDevelop the ability to build clear\, compelling grant narratives\nIncrease confidence in identifying and using publicly available data sources\nGain practical skills in using tools such as the new community dashboard to access community data\nStrengthen their ability to communicate program impact using their own data\n\nBy building participants’ confidence and capacity to use data effectively\, this workshop will help organizations develop stronger\, data-informed proposals that more accurately reflect both the urgency of community needs and the impact of their work. \nThis training will be presented by Transform Consulting Group. \nFollowing the session\, attendees will be asked to complete a brief survey.  \nPlease Note: This training was previously titled Using Data in Grant Writing. While the title and description have been updated\, the content remains the same and continues to provide the same valuable information and learning experience.

SUMMARY:Changing How You Work with AI
DESCRIPTION:AI can do far more than answer questions. It can become a practical partner in the way you work every day. This interactive workshop is designed for professionals who have experimented with AI but want to move beyond occasional use to developing more effective\, consistent work habits. \nParticipants will examine their current workflows to identify where AI can save time\, improve decision-making\, reduce repetitive tasks\, and enhance productivity. Through hands-on activities and real-world examples\, you’ll practice advanced prompting and delegation techniques that transform AI from a simple tool into an ongoing collaborative assistant. You’ll leave with a personalized action plan to help you immediately apply what you’ve learned in your own workplace. \nBy the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify where AI is underutilized in their current workflow and recognize opportunities to improve efficiency.\nApply practical prompting and delegation techniques to real workplace tasks\, creating a more iterative and productive partnership with AI.\nDevelop a personalized two-week action plan to build one new AI-powered work habit that increases productivity and effectiveness.\n\nThis workshop is ideal for individuals who have a basic familiarity with generative AI tools such as ChatGPT\, Claude\, or Microsoft Copilot and are ready to take the next step toward working smarter with AI. \nDr. Timothy A. (Tad) Dickel serves as the Executive in Residence in Leadership and the Faculty Director of the Master of Science in Leadership program at the University of Evansville.
