Breakout Session Proposals

Please read the following carefully before filling out this form.  

Completing a presentation proposal does not guarantee selection.

The True Charity team will select presentations based on the relevance of the topic, our highest-priority content needs, and the available speaking slots.

Generally speaking, we are looking for content that aligns well with these topics (we will consider other topics): 

• Program Design
  • Best practices for effective programs include implementing challenge, accountability, relationship, etc.
  • Case management best practices that support a developmental approach to charity vs. a relief-oriented approach
  • Training on case-by-case issues such as mental illness, trauma-informed care, addiction, etc.
• Healthy Organizations
  
  • Building an effective board and staff
  • Leadership development, creating a healthy team culture, etc
  • Operational best practices, such as liability prevention, forming a 501(c)3, organizational structure, etc

• Fundraising and Volunteerism
  • Private funding strategies, grant-writing instruction, donor engagement and cultivation tips
  • Best practices for recruiting, equipping, and retaining volunteers, strategies for gaining community support
  • Marketing, branding, and website design tips
• Special demographics
  • Working with specific populations such as ex-felons, elderly, youth, etc
• Community collaboration
  
  • Tips and tools for communicating and collaborating with other local nonprofits and churches
  • Coalition-building around effective charity ideas

Guidelines

• Content must not conflict with True Charity's foundational principles that the best kind of charity is voluntarily-funded, challenge-oriented, and outcomes-driven.
• Content must be educational, not merely advertorial.
