Partnership with Foundation Center – 2019 Facilitator Opportunities

The Association of Nonprofit Specialists is pleased to announce that the Foundation Center has once again asked us to help coordinate educational workshops for its constituents.

These 90-minute pro-bono sessions will be held throughout 2019, and typically attract 30-50 nonprofit professional attendees.

Here is what some past facilitators from our network had to say about their experience:

“I thoroughly enjoyed my session teaching under the auspices of the ANS/Foundation Center. The participants represented a wide range of organizations, experience and interest. They were enthusiastic, asked excellent questions, and demonstrated a high level of engagement. I would absolutely do it again.”Marian Z. Stern, Projects in Philanthropy

“Presenting at the Foundation Center was not only a completely enjoyable experience, but as a consultant it produced a lot of attention for my services and expertise. Almost immediately, I secured a very prominent nonprofit as a client to build a major gift program and we continue to work together to this day.”Peter Heller, Peter J. Heller Consulting

“Working with ANS has opened me up to a valuable business development opportunity. As a result of speaking at the Foundation Center, I have been able to further my relationship with this established nonprofit service provider, while also introducing my work to a completely new group of people. Since the workshop I’ve already had several requests for assistance and follow-up with a couple of serious business connections.”Bruce Arbit, Melarbit Partners

If you are interested in being considered for this opportunity and are a member of the Association of Nonprofit Specialists, please complete the facilitator proposal form and email it to program@npspecialists.org by 5PM on Monday, January 28, 2019.
