Join us for the inaugural Lab IMPACTLY Nonprofit Workshop at Appalachian State University. This event will be a hands-on, impact-driven event designed to respond to the needs of local nonprofits in the Western North Carolina region. Through a series of focus groups with nonprofit staff and executives, we have identified key challenges nonprofits in our regions face and have crafted this workshop to address them.
The workshop is part of our Lab IMPACTLY initiative, focusing on practical solutions and collaborative learning. Through this event, we aim to have local nonprofits leave with the tools, strategies, and insights needed to enhance their impact, specifically securing and managing grants. Most importantly, this is an opportunity to build stronger connections, share knowledge, and create lasting impacts for our community.
