Events and Trainings

EPNRC offers programs each month: Lunch & Learn, Coffee Talk, and Happy Hour. Some of these fall heavier towards education, others towards networking. Once a year, we dive deep into a topic at Nonprofit Camp. 
Registration Open 
​Early Bird Prices though August 23rd.
Workshop in the woods with other NOCO nonprofits. Dive into innovative examples in fundraising. What is working. Could we work together? How is that beneficial for all involved?
Free to EPNRC Members
​LaunchNo.CO is a nonprofit dedicated to advancing and supporting entrepreneurship. One way they do this is providing organizations advice and feedback on their sales pitch. When your nonprofit asks for money, you are making a pitch. What is your story, is it compelling? Why give to you?
Lunch and Learn: The Power of Storytelling
​Jul 30 @ 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm
​Make your mission compelling to donors. Why does your organization matter? Why should donors support your work? Where should your story go? Work in pairs to talk through the story of your organization and your relationship to it.

Volunteer Workshop

​Introduction to new volunteer software for our community. AND it has a community calendar element. Your organization needs helpers? Board Members? Here is an idea! All nonprofits could post their annual fundraisers and dates for big projects so that we don't do things at the same time for the same (limited) audience. 
Facilitated by: Laurie-Dale Marshall, Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center Executive Director and Alison Rivers, Program and Development Coordinator at Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center. Both ladies are trained in on this new software, purchased through a grant award from Village Thrift Store.
