Online: Rural Nonprofit Gathering - More Than a Paycheck: Creative Ways to Care for Your Team on a Small Budget

More Than a Paycheck: Creative Ways to Care for Your Team on a Small Budget

Rural nonprofits often do a lot with a little. So, let’s talk about creative ways to care for the people who make your work possible. Wages aren’t the only way to help your team feel valued, supported, and glad to be part of your organization.

This online conversation will be facilitated by NAWA Operations Director Jesse Tofte, and Colleen Malmassari, founder of HR consulting practice Back40. We’ll talk about stretching your resources in ways that positively impact the people on your team.We’ll explore low-cost and no-cost ideas like flexible schedules, work-from-home options, local discounts and reciprocal memberships, and professional development support. Many of these ideas can work for your volunteers, too!

We’ll also address this important question: how do you know if what you’re trying or providing is working? We’ll examine practical ways to check in on employee well-being and see whether your efforts are making a real difference in people’s lives.

Come with your questions, your own ideas, and the realities of your community. You’ll have a chance to learn from peers who understand the rural nonprofit experience, and leave with fresh possibilities to consider.

The Rural Nonprofit Gathering is a space for rural nonprofits to gather, network, learn and share. We invite different partner organizations, professionals in their field and even the internal staff at Nonprofit Association of Washington to present emerging topics for rural communities in Washington State. This event is held free of charge and online.
