IN TRUST CENTER WEBINAR:

Demystifying the Research Process for Mission-Driven Organizations

June 10, 2021
1 – 2 p.m. ET

Join us for a webinar led by Springtide Research Institute about "Demystifying the Research Process for Mission-Driven Organizations." Executive Director Josh Packard and Head of Research Megan Bissell will share tips, tricks, processes, and strategies that they have identified for conducting research with your organization to get you funding, evaluate your programs, and demonstrate the impact that you’re having on the world. You will leave with essential tools to help you design a research project from scratch or refine one that you are already working on!

IN TRUST CENTER WEBINARS ON DEMAND:

 

Your Institution's Financial Picture

Join Chris Meinzer, Senior Director of Administration & COO for ATS,
as he discusses these questions and more:
What are the financial challenges and opportunities facing seminaries and theological schools in North America? In that light, what are the key components of audited financial statements that the board, administration, and faculty need to pay attention to?

Using Strategic Partnerships to Fulfill Mission

Presenter: Rick Staisloff, Founder and Senior Partner of rpk GROUP.
Strategic partnerships aren’t just taking place in company boardrooms.  And those partnerships aren’t just about mergers. How might our institutions join together in new ways to fulfill mission, serve students and lower costs?  Across the academic landscape, institutions of all sizes are making these very decisions.

Articulating Your Grant Vision
Considering new grant work but wondering how to articulate your vision?
Join consultants Monica Lewis and Trey Wince from Ministry Architects, who will explore best practices for articulating your grant vision on a short timeline. They’ll explore how to build the right grant-writing team, strategically plan, create feedback loops from a wide representation of your constituent churches, and listen particularly from chronically underserved populations.
