Introducing the DOF Training Institute
Over the years, we've worked with deaf organizations and program leaders across the country and have seen a wide range of unmet needs and countless nonprofit challenges. There’s one area of need thatkeeps coming up: a need for accessible training for leaders to support their long-term organizational growth.
Organizations are navigating complex and ever-changing landscapes of policy, funding, and more. Uncertain times call for more support and greater resources.
And this isn't just about one-time workshops. It's about ongoing access to training and opportunities to learn, grow, and strengthen the work already happening. This brings us to the next exciting part.
A New Resource for Deaf Organizations
We're launching the Training Institute, an online library of training sessions covering various nonprofit topics. It's simple, accessible, and designed around practical tools and information that directly support the work of deaf organizations and programs. The sessions will be facilitated primarily by ASL-fluent nonprofit experts with voice interpreting, captions, and transcripts provided.
These sessions, offered for free, will grow into a larger library of content that organizations can return to whenever they need it. We’re starting with a Fundraising and Grantwriting track and over time, we will add other critical nonprofit topics, such as Strategic Planning and Impact, Nonprofit Finance, and so on. This is just the beginning.
Built for the Long Term
The Training Institute is a long-term investment in deaf organizations and the people leading them. Because we know that when leaders at the helm of the organization are equipped with knowledge and resources, they can lead stronger organizations, which in turn make for stronger communities.
Join Us
We're excited to begin this next chapter with you. None of this would have been possible without The Glenn and Martha Wilson Fund, whose generous support helped make this institute a reality.
