The Foraker Group

Posted Under: Training

---

We have received many requests from our Partners and the community to learn more about Foraker services, our sustainability model, and issues related to starting a new nonprofit. With that in mind, we will launch three new classes after the first of the year. Each is one hour and free to the public. We encourage you to take advantage of these opportunities and pass along this information to others who may be interested.

Check the descriptions below and click on our class calendar for information on date and time, and to register.

Foraker Partnership: What it can mean for your organization

Becoming a Partner in The Foraker Group brings your organization much more than discounts on our classes and services — although those are certainly an important benefit. In this one-hour class you will learn all the aspects of partnership — its benefits, opportunities, and, yes, its responsibilities. We strongly encourage new Partners to join us and hope organizations that have been part of Foraker for many years will take this as a refresher course.

The Foraker Nonprofit Sustainability Model: What is it? How does it work?

You hear us talk about our sustainability model quite a bit. It sets the context for all our work and it’s being adapted by organizations around Alaska with great success. This one-hour class walks you through the model and helps you start your own sustainability journey. We’ll explain how we arrived at the model and share ways other nonprofits are using it. This class is your first step on the sustainability path.

So You Want to Create a Nonprofit: What you must know before starting

Perhaps the question we receive most is “how do I start my own nonprofit?” In fact, we’ve heard it so often we decided to offer this one-hour class to help you understand the process and implications of beginning a nonprofit. Is a new organization the best way to accomplish a mission that’s important to you? We’ll help you think about that and make an informed decision.
