We are looking forward to your participation in the JCoR education session on Fundraising & Development on Thursday, 20 June, from 10:00am-12:45pm (New York time).   This education session is geared towards JCoRs growing interest in strengthening financial sustainability, but it is open to anyone in our community with an interest in learning more about the grant-seeking process. We will cover topics ranging from developing a fundraising strategy to building relationships with potential donors and essential elements of proposal pitches.   We encourage you to join us in-person at the JCoR office (7th floor of the Church Center, 777 United Nations Plaza) for this session. For those who may be unable to join us in-person, we are also offering the option to attend via Zoom.   Click here to access the presentation slides.

Rather than repeating that content, anyone interested in improving their skills in Google Docs or Sheets is asked to review the recording of our earlier tutorial and to come to this session with specific questions or difficulties.

Please see the flyer (above) for details on JCoR’s upcoming social media training for religious NGOs at the UN. This informal webinar was held on Thursday, 7 April 2022. This training was the second segment in a two-part series: (1) Our first session focused on tips and tricks to help you make the most effective use of your time on social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook. It also highlighted mechanisms JCoR has put in place in order to assist you in amplifying our work via social media.  (2) The second session explored ways in which we can think more strategically about time management and how we are choosing to utilize social media in our advocacy efforts, including incorporating storytelling.  A basic understanding of Facebook and Twitter is highly recommended in order for participants to benefit from the learnings shared during these social media webinars.
