SUMMARY:Giving For Impact – Level 1\, Day 2
DESCRIPTION:As a donor\, do you ever question whether your donations are having the impact you expect?  Do you often feel like you are just writing checks to organizations because they asked or because it makes you feel good? \nOver the past eight years\, our program\, Giving for Impact\, has made a tremendous difference in how people donate and partner with nonprofits. \nThe sole purpose of our training is to equip attendees with knowledge and help in developing relationships with the nonprofit community.  The training encourages individuals to learn more about who they are as donors by teaching them to identify their personal mission\, vision\, and core values to create charitable impact.  As a donor\, they will be equipped to know how to find fulfillment in their giving. \nOnce an individual understands who they are as a donor\, the program will build on that understanding by equipping them with knowledge of what a strong nonprofit organization looks like.  Donors will learn how to ask the right questions when meeting with a nonprofit and how to determine if they are actually making a difference.  Participants will learn what a healthy nonprofit partnership looks like and be able to create their own personal plan and philosophy of giving. \nThe 2026 Level I sessions are planned for March 5 and April 9. \nGiving for Impact is a great training program for individual donors as well as family foundations\, financial advisors\, wealth managers\, CPA’s\, estate planners\, attorneys or trust advisors. Regardless if you donate $50.00 per year or $50\,000.00 per year\, Giving for Impact is for anyone who desires to have a clearer understanding of themselves as a donor and has a desire to make a greater impact through their giving. \nJamie D. Levy\, from JDLevy & Associates\, an international speaker\, consultant\, and adjunct professor at Indiana University School of Philanthropy\, IU Fund Raising School\, and IU Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environment Affairs (IU SPEA)\, will guide you through understanding the strategies involved in making wise decisions regarding your philanthropic giving.  To learn more about Mr. Levy and JDLevy & Associates visit their website www.JDLevyAssociates.com \nThis training is supported through donations from Jim and Carol Havens\, JDLevy & Associates\, Community Foundation Alliance\, and the Welborn Baptist Foundation.  These donations allow Giving for Impact to offer this series at no cost to you. \nIf you have questions or would like additional information please do not hesitate to contact: Carol Havens havenscs@gmail.com  812-453-8654  Cara Steinkuhl carasteinkuhl@gmail.com 812-455-4321 or Jamie Levy jlevy@jdlevyassociates.com

SUMMARY:Unlocking Evaluation Success with Program Theory & Logic Models
DESCRIPTION:Program theory provides a roadmap for understanding how programs are supposed to work and how activities should lead to intended outcomes. Conversely\, when program theory is not well-defined\, problems will inevitably emerge that weaken both the program and its evaluation. This session provides an opportunity to dig deeper into program theory and strengthening evaluation efforts through helping clients identify\, clarify\, and communicate program theory. In this workshop session\, we’ll explore: \n·        What program theory is and how clearly articulating it can strengthen program delivery and management practices. \n·        How to communicate program theory through several strategies including basic and detailed logic models. \n·        Tools and templates that can be used to help staff and leaders develop\, revise\, and articulate program theory.

SUMMARY:Evaluation 101
DESCRIPTION:Overview \nThis training will review the competencies and elements to introduce participants to evaluation concepts. Our Evaluation 101 training covers implementing systems and a structure to set an organization up for success and embed evaluation into their organizational practices. We will highlight the steps involved in creating an evaluation system and prepare participants to begin similar processes in their own organizations that are aligned to their data management plans. This workshop introduces the concept of logic models\, SMART outcomes\, and an organizational learning culture. This half-day session will dive into the importance of data systems and procedures and how to develop them. We will share examples of how to develop processes to ensure consistency in how data is collected\, stored\, and analyzed. We will also cover the implications of when organizations do not have these procedures. Participants will walk about with concrete action steps they can carry out! \n  \nWorkshop Objectives: \n\nParticipants will understand basic evaluation terms and processes\, including the four steps of program evaluation.\nParticipants will gain skills to establish clear outcomes and outputs\, collect clean data\, analyze data\, and implement evaluation procedures.\nParticipants will understand the goals of process evaluations and outcome evaluations.\nParticipants will identify successes and challenges with the procedures used to collect\, store\, and analyze the data.\n\nWho should attend?\nIdeal participants are those that are looking to learn how to build a compelling grant narrative using data and relevant information\, primarily using or leaning into the Grow/SAVI data tool for data usage. \n* Following each session\, attendees will be asked to complete a brief survey. \nInstructed by: Transform Consulting Group
