The Make Your Nonprofit Profitable - Afterschool and Summer Program Workshop is an empowering, results-driven training designed exclusively for nonprofit founders, directors, and program leaders who operate — or plan to operate — summer and afterschool programs for children.

• Are looking for clear guidance on how to qualify for federal reimbursements and secure consistent funding to grow their nonprofit.

Who This Workshop Is Not For:
This event is not open to for-profit businesses or organizations seeking private or commercial funding opportunities. It is designed solely for registered or soon-to-be registered nonprofit organizations.

This workshop bridges that gap by showing you exactly how to make your nonprofit financially empowered, compliant, and impactful. Whether you’re just starting or already established, you’ll walk away with the tools to grow your organization while serving more children in need.
