SUMMARY:LEARN @ UMC: Self-Care
DESCRIPTION:We see you. \n\n\nNonprofit work is never easy\, and this year has stretched all of us. From shifting funding landscapes to increasing community needs\, the stress can be relentless—and it’s taking a toll. \n\n\nSo this month\, LEARN@UMC is doing something different. Instead of a traditional workshop\, we’re dedicating this time entirely to you. \n\n\nOn Tuesday\, June 18\, from 9:00–10:30 AM\, we invite you to use this time—however you choose—for self-care. That might mean: \n\n\n\n\n\nTaking a mindful walk outdoors\nSitting in silence with a cup of tea or coffee\nJournaling\, meditating\, or reading something inspiring\nGetting outside and gardening\nDoing absolutely nothing for 90 whole minutes\n\n\n\n\n\nWhatever feels restorative to you. The point is\, give yourself permission to pause. \n\n\nThis session is free and open to all nonprofits. Please RSVP as usual so we can track participation—and because we’d love for you to be part of what comes next. \n\n\nAfterward\, we invite you to share a quick selfie and a sentence or two about how you used the time and how it made you feel. We’ll compile your reflections into a collective resource and share it with all participants—something uplifting to remind us that we’re in this work together. \n\n\nBonus! Every reflection we receive will be entered into a drawing to win a 60-minute massage gift certificate. Because you deserve it. \n\n\nYou always show up for your community. This time\, show up for yourself. \n\n\nRSVP at unitedmidcoastcharities.org/learn-rsvp

SUMMARY:LEARN @ UMC: AI For Nonprofits
DESCRIPTION:United Midcoast Charities’ next installment of our LEARN@UMC workshop series will be held on Monday\, May 12th from 12noon – 1:30pm in the Jean Picker Room at the Camden Public Library. Please note due to scheduling conflicts May’s workshop will be held on a Monday\, not our typical Wednesday. We are really excited about this one! Presented by Patrick Gotham\, Vice President at CCS Fundraising\, this hands-on session will introduce nonprofit professionals to practical ways AI can enhance their daily work–from writing prompts that yield better results to integrating AI into workflows for content creation\, donor strategy\, and more.\n \nParticipants will explore key AI tools and terminology while learning how to build confidence and momentum around AI adoption within their organizations. This interactive session is designed to make artificial intelligence accessible\, actionable\, and immediately useful. Make sure to bring your lunch as this will be a brown bag session!\n \nFree for 2024 UMC grantee organizations. $20 for anyone else wishing to attend. We are expecting a great turnout for this one\, which is why we are moving it to a larger space. Please email admin@unitedmidcoastcharities.org to register. Your registration confirmation email will include a link to a google form with a couple of quick questions to gauge the audience’s comfort level with AI so Patrick can better tailor the presentation and hands-on examples to meet folks where they are – whether that’s beginner level or a bit more advanced.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Learn With UMC: Data Collection Tools
DESCRIPTION:Funders often ask nonprofits to demonstrate their impact through internal data. Nonprofits trying to meet this expectation sometimes collect disorganized\, unwieldy information that is expensive and difficult to use. In the best cases\, well-conducted and managed data can radically improve program results and improve funding prospects. \nYour own program research can return robust information to inform and improve your program’s impact\, but lean organizations know it is critical to make research efforts count. In this workshop you will learn how to design simple and effective interviews\, focus groups\, and surveys that get the information you need. \nJoin us at United Farmer’s Market in Belfast from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. on Thursday\, April 16 to learn how to design simple\, low-cost data collection methods with the Data Innovation Project. There is no cost to participate\, but space is limited so pre-registration is required. \n***CANCELLATION/NO SHOW POLICY \nPlease note that while this event is free\, the experience is valuable and wait-lists are long. We require cancellation at least 48 hours in advance to fill your seat from the wait-list. If you are unable to attend at late notice\, please arrange for a substitute to attend in your place. If you cancel without a substitute within 48 hours or otherwise don’t show\, you will be charged a fee of $50.00. \nAbout the presenters: \nThe Data Innovation Project was founded with support from the Maine Economic Improvement Fund and is housed within the Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy at the Muskie School of Public Service\, University of Southern Maine. The Data Innovation Project improves Maine’s capacity for data-informed decision making by providing access to affordable information and instruction\, skilled technical assistance\, and open access to a growing body of resourcesFill out my LGL form!

DESCRIPTION:Learn with UMC: Grantseeking with Foundation Directory Online (FDO) workshop will be offered at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday\, Feb 11 at Social Capital\, 28 Spring St\, Belfast Maine. \nThis workshop is ideal for anyone in a fundraising role who has not yet had a one-on-one FDO tutorial with UMC staff. Certified Expert FDO Trainer Kelly Carey will offer an interactive\, hands-on workshop to introduce the grant prospecting tools available through UMC’s partnership with Candid’s Foundation Center Online. \nThere are over 140\,000 charitable foundations in the United States\, and 80% of them don’t have a website. Finding funders who are the right fit may seem impossible\, especially to small organizations who rely on volunteers. Foundation Directory Online grantseekers’ database offers incredible tools to make this process approachable. FDO offers up-to-date insight on grantmakers working in every part of the country\, in every field and interest. In-depth funder profiles and details on past giving can help nonprofits craft a strong case for the foundations most likely to give to their cause. \nIn 2019\, more than 50 nonprofit representatives used FDO at UMC to seek funding. 100% of surveyed respondents say they identified strong new prospects\, 60% said they will change how they ask current or lapsed funders based on their learning\, and 80% have recommended this resource to others. \nThis workshop is free but enrollment is limited. Registration is required. Call 207-236-2299 with additional questions. Attendees will access the database on UMC’s network with their own laptop or tablet\, so please bring a fully charged device adequate for about 90 minutes of online work. Snacks will be provided. \n***CANCELLATION/NO SHOW POLICY \nPlease note that while this event is free\, the experience is valuable and wait-lists are long. We require cancellation at least 48 hours in advance to fill your seat from the wait-list. If you are unable to attend at late notice\, please arrange for a substitute to attend in your place. If you cancel without a substitute within 48 hours or otherwise don’t show\, you will be charged a fee of $50.00. \nAbout the presenter: \nKelly Carey is program coordinator at United Midcoast Charities as well as the primary coach of the Foundation Directory Online database at UMC. She loves the magic moment when a grant seeker realizes that there is LOTS of grant funding available for their work. \nFill out my LGL form!

SUMMARY:Learn With UMC: Board Boot Camp
DESCRIPTION:Do you ever worry about whether the board you’re on is covering all of its bases – or whether there’s some outstanding risk or liability that you’ve overlooked? This workshop will provide participants with a working understanding of the legal\, fiduciary and governance obligations of nonprofit boards of directors. Attendees will gain clarity regarding the “must do” and “should do” tasks that every board faces and acquire strategies for engaging current and potential new board members in sharing the workload. Everyone will leave with an action plan for increasing the effectiveness of their board and heightened confidence regarding nonprofit board governance in an increasingly complex environment. \nThis session is for you if you are new to nonprofit governance\, if you wonder whether your board is covering all its bases\, or if your organization has grown beyond its grassroots origins but the board has not. \nThis program is intended for current board members\, including new board members with little to no experience serving on boards as well as more experienced board members who want a refresher.  Executive directors are welcome to attend with other board members\, and it is strongly suggested that teams of 2-3 from the same organization attend together for maximum benefit. \nFill out my LGL form! \nAbout the Presenter:\nPresenter Mary Aselton Budd joined Starboard Leadership Consulting after seven years at the helm of Penobscot Theatre Company in Bangor. As board president and then executive director\, she developed and implemented an ambitious strategic plan that resulted in financial stabilization\, programmatic expansion\, audience development\, and many capital improvements. Mary first forayed behind the scenes in the performing arts as co-producer of Black Rock\, a feature film shot in Downeast Maine and sold at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. \nAttendance at this event is free of charge\, but pre-registration is required and space is limited to 35 participants. Register at unitedmidcoastcharities.org/events or call UMC at 236-2299 for more information. The Learn With UMC series has been generously funded by Barney and Edward Lane and through business sponsorships. Board Boot Camp is put on in partnership with Maine Association of Nonprofits and is sponsored in part by Bar Harbor Bank & Trust. UMC’s year-long media sponsor is Courier Publications.
