HISTORY

History America’s First Civil War It is generally estimated that throughout the course of the Revolutionary War, only one third of the American public consistently supported the cause of independence, another third firmly remained loyal to the British Crown, and the decisive final third tended to support whichever army was currently camped out in their neighborhood. Nowhere was this division of opinion more violenty played out than in the Southern colonies.

This class will examine the origins and outcomes of the tensions between families, neighbors, economic and social classes, races, religions, and nationalities that plagued the South through almost nine years of continuous warfare.

Genealogy on the Web– The Basics

During the American Civil War, both sides made extensive use of mounted soldiers in units of all sizes, from large divisions made up of thousands of cavalrymen and light artillery to small units of irregular forces mounted on swift horses who served to gather information on the enemy or to attack his weak points.

Culinary Italy October 2011 Well known for its culinary arts, Italy is a food-lovers “paradise.” From the open air markets and specialty shops of Rome to the vineyards and olive groves of Umbria, this trip will explore the culinary roots of Italy. From visits to vineyards and olive oil producers, you’ll meet winemakers, bakers and chefs, and have an opportunity to sample of their rich bounty. We’ll visit bakeries, gelato shops and butchers as well as take in the café culture. We’ll eat some of the hundreds of different shapes of pasta Italy has to offer and have a chance to get in the kitchen as well. The Slow Food movement started in Italy nearly 25 years ago and its legacy continues today in cities as well as the fertile countryside and small towns of Umbria.

Between meals we’ll spend a good bit of time visiting some of the artistic highlights of Rome and the towns of Umbria. The first part of the trip will be spent in Rome exploring the rich traditions and history of “The Eternal City.” The group will visit important historic sites using the city as our classroom.

The second half of the trip will take us to the fertile Umbria region of Italy, just a few hours northwest of Rome. Using the walled city of Todi as a base, we will visit small towns, vineyards and food producers.

The trip will be led by John Haddad, a local food writer for Style Weekly and Flavor Magazine and is the Vice Chair of Slow Food RVA, a chapter of the Italian based organization focused on local and sustainable food.

Grant Writing classes Introduction to Grantsmanship

Advanced Grant Writing

Grants & Major Gift Research

Successful grantsmanship is more than grants writing – it’s a comprehensive process of defining needs in a compelling way; determining best type of funding possibilities and strategies; researching and connecting with appropriate sources; writing and packaging the competitive, winning proposals; and managing grants and grantors after the award or the decline – while educating and engaging better your boss and your board. In this six-hour workshop you will learn the fundamentals, organization and management strategies, grant trends and solutions, and new resources that position your organization for greater grantsmanship success.

Participants will improve their grant writing skills and techniques. Participants will become familiar with research sites and sources to better search for grant sources. Participants will better understand the cultivation and stewardship of foundation proposal and leave with some new techniques on writing more comprehensive and informed proposals.

Participants are asked to have some experience in grant writing. Bringing a laptop to the class is suggested to assist with better understanding research. Participants are also welcome to bring a proposal that they are working on to discuss in class.

Explore effective prospect research resources, methods, internet sites and subscription databases to identify, refine and qualify all funding sources including: individuals, business and industry, private foundations, associations and government sources. For added benefit, come prepared with general needs, as well as specific projects, programs and funding needs. The class will spend quality time in the Computer Lab online, as well as studying other available resources.

Big Game Hunting – Planned Giving in Development Office

The Annual Fund

Too often development officers try to incorporate planned giving into their efforts by viewing it as a separate tool to assist with fundraising. According to many seasoned practitioners, however, this is not the best approach. Joe Bull, 2005 Chair of the Board of Directors of the National Council on Planned Giving, suggests that, “Planned giving is an active process.”

Come hear about how Collegiate School implements this process and thereby consistently enjoys $1-3 million every year in deferred giving activity. How does pursuing planned gifts differ from raising outright/capital gifts? How does a small shop raise these gifts without a dedicated planned giving officer? What can a CEO do to help? What must a governing board do to promote success? Our study will also provide a working knowledge of each of the eight most common gifts in this area, including their main tax features.

Making the Case: How Telling Your Organization’s Story is Crutial to Fundraising Success Anyone in a capital or annual campaign will benefit from learning the successful elements of a winning case statement.

Judy Lankford, CFRE, will use her reallife case statement writing experiences to provide students with a basic “road map” for creating this document. Jerold Panas’ seminal book, “Making the Case” will be our touchstone and point of reference. We will have fun analyzing the ingredients of successful case statements and will review some examples. Each student will work on creating a basic framework for their own organizational case statement document.

A well-run annual giving program not only provides critical funds to operate not-for-profit organizations but also serves as the platform for major gifts, capital campaigns, planned giving, and endowments. Yet many organizations operate the annual fund primarily through mailings and special events that only scratch at the surface of fundraising potential. The best annual funds know their donors and they know fundraising takes a village. They view the various methods, direct mail, events, grant process, personalized contacts; not as separate activities but as parts of a total program to acquire, keep, and upgrade donors over their lifetime. They analyze fundraising methods and set realistic goals. This course will focus on: Identifying your annual fund strategies and identifying the techniques for success; Defining and communicating the annual fund cas; Building your annual fund constituency; Maximizing relationships, the role of the board, volunteer and staff in the annual fund 4/1&4/8 IOP211.21

The Sustainable Nonprofit Formula, What Works?

From Planned Gifts to a Planned Giving Program Planned giving is the technique used by many donors to maximize their support of nonprofit organizations. To be successful, however, a planned giving program just do more than interpret gift planning options to individual donors. This course will refresh your knowledge of basic gift planning techniques, and equip you and your organization to build upon the knowledge to market and manage a sustainable planned giving program.

Persuasive Writing in Nonprofits Clear, compelling, and persuasive written products are essential for telling your nonprofit’s story, and for attracting the support you need to reach new heights.

This workshop will equip you with the tools to improve your organization’s writing as you communicate with diverse audiences, from donors (existing and potential) to volunteers to the general public. We will discuss the often difficult realities of the writing process – especially “writing by committee” in organizations – and earn how to apply tried-and-true tips for good writing, such as “know your audience” and “revise, revise...and revise again.” We will analyze both amazing and awful writing from other nonprofits, and carefully assess your own organization’s products. A particular focus will be on preparing a mission statement for your organization in a format proven to be both effective in fundraising and inspiring to staff, boards, and volunteers. We will also consider the challenges and opportunities of new venues, such as electronic communications and social media.
