Lakeshore Nonprofit Programs & Community Nonprofit Events

Have a problem or opportunity that you want to address, but lack the expertise or resources needed? The Hope College Center for Leadership (CFL) Consulting program could be an ideal solution. Join us for this informational webinar to learn more about the program and how to apply.

This is a casual gathering for nonprofit professionals to come and connect with each other. There’s no agenda, just a chance to unwind and spend time with others who understand the work you do. Come by to meet a few new people, catch up with familiar faces, or just get out for a bit.

Board members care deeply about your mission, but engaging donors can often feel uncomfortable or unclear. In this workshop, Kevin Eastway helps reframe fundraising as something more natural, relational, and human. Together, you’ll uncover what’s really driving hesitation and learn a simple, practical approach to donor conversations that builds confidence without pressure.

Your organization’s strategic plan sets the vision and priorities for the future – a strong development plan provides the pathway to resource that vision. Participants will leave with a practical framework they can immediately begin using as a pathway to fundraising success!

Join fellow Arts & Culture leaders from across the Lakeshore region for the first gathering of the Arts & Culture Collective. This first meeting is all about listening, connecting, and helping shape what this group becomes. Together, we’ll identify the conversations, challenges, and opportunities that Arts & Culture organizations most want to explore moving forward.
