FVCC hosting online workshop focused on nonprofit fundraising

Flathead Valley Community College’s Continuing Education Center will host a workshop designed to help nonprofit board members understand their role in fundraising.

The workshop, entitled “I’m Expected to Fundraise - Help!” is being offered online April 15 and April 22 from 6 to 8 p.m. Cost to register is $65 per person.

The four-hour workshop is taught by Certified Fund Raising Executive Chany Ockert. “With the Whitefish Community Foundation’s Day of Giving coming up on May 5, this class will give confidence to board members who will be asking people to support their organization,” Ockert said.

Ockert will define the process of fund development, how fundraising relates to good board governance, and practical ways for board members to be involved in fund development beyond making the actual ask for money.

Ockert specializes in adapting fundraising best practices and lessons across sub-sectors of nonprofits. In 2016, she was awarded the Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) designation based on demonstrated, measurable success in fundraising. In 2019, she obtained the Certificate of Nonprofit Board Consulting from BoardSource.
