Past
Organizational Learning
Third Plateau worked with organizations to consider how they conduct learning to improve both their programming and operations through this half-day, in-person workshop. Learning on program assessment supported organizations in identifying clear outcomes and basic data collection tools that support ongoing learning for continual improvement. Operations assessment focused on best practices in nonprofit performance and provided templates and tools for organizations to assess their health.
Fundraising (Part II)
This half-day, in-person workshop led by Third Plateau focused on identifying potential donors, creating and building fundraising strategies, and best practices in stewardship and moves management. The content compliments the Building Pathways program and utilizes similar language and best practice information and data.
Succession Planning (Webinar)
It is inevitable that all staff will leave their organizations at some point. Is your organization prepared for that moment? In this session, we will explore the need for succession planning and how growing talented, committed individuals at every level of your organization mitigates risk, retains staff, and ensures the organization’s overall success. Third Plateau will lead the discussion and provide tools around best practices in succession planning and the role both board and staff play in this work.
