Ever since the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) attempted to freeze trillions of dollars in federal funding back in January, the 30% of nonprofits that receive federal grant funds (plus many others than receive federal funding indirectly or whose serve people and communities that participate in a myriad of federal programs) have seen a wide array of challenges.
Nonprofits thrive on trust — from donors, clients, and the communities they serve. Yet in North Carolina, more than 2,200 organizations reported data breaches in 2024 alone, impacting 6.6 million residents (NC DOJ). Nonprofits were not spared, and nationally, 6 in 10 have been targeted by cyberattacks in the past two years. This workshop breaks cybersecurity down into plain language and practical action. You’ll learn how to protect sensitive information, meet insurance requirements, and build the kind of digital trust that keeps your mission safe and your donors confident.
In this session, you’ll learn how to update your Candid profile to tell your story effectively and earn Seals of Transparency that demonstrate your impact and accountability. We’ll also cover how to use Candid’s free dashboards to collect data and explore their new AI tools, including a writer that helps craft compelling letters of intent with ease.

Understanding the legal requirements and restrictions is essential for any organization planning a raffle.
