GrantStation | FREE WEBINAR: Running Lean Without Running Empty | Small nonprofits don't struggle because their people aren't working hard enough. When your team is in constant reactive mode, every week can feel like a crisis, burnout quietly becomes the baseline, and the mission you set out to serve gets buried under the operational weight of just keeping things running. During this TargetED, Alice Ruhnke will help you navigate the difference between being busy and being strategic. Using a clear prioritization framework and a set of practical tools you’ll see how to build systems that reduce chaos when full-time operations staff is out of reach. | Date & Time: July 13, 2026 at 2:00PM | More information and registration.

GrantStation | WORKSHOP: Grant Writing Intensive: Build the Skills to Get Funded | A strong grantseeking program can be transformational, the kind that expands your capacity, fuels your programs, and moves your mission forward. But consistently writing winning proposals? That's where many nonprofits get stuck. If your organization doesn't know where to start, spends hours on proposals that don't get funded, or is ready to take your grant writing to the next level, this intensive was built for you. Over two days and four hours of live, interactive instruction, GrantStation President Alice Ruhnke will walk you through every major component of a competitive grant proposal step-by- step, with real examples. This isn't a passive lecture. You'll work through each section in a supportive environment, so you leave with more than knowledge: you'll leave with a reusable framework you can apply to your next proposal immediately. | Dates & Times: July 15 and July 16, 2026 starting at 2PM | Pricing, information, and registration.
