Overcoming the "Ick Factor": Rethinking Branding in the Nonprofit Sector

Wednesday, April 1, 2026 | 10 am - 10:30 am CSTFree Webinar - Registration RequiredREGISTER HEREThe “Ick Factor” often shows up when nonprofit leaders hear the word branding. Many assume branding is too corporate, too commercial, or somehow at odds with mission-driven work. That discomfort can create a disconnect for supporters between an organization’s mission and the way it communicates that mission to the world. Without a clear brand framework guiding messaging, voice, and visuals, fundraising, advocacy, and marketing can become inconsistent or diluted. When nonprofit leaders understand that their brand is simply a clear expression of who they are, what they stand for, and why their work matters, that disconnect fades and their mission becomes easier for others to understand and support.Presenter:Pam GeorgianaBrand Strategist and StorytellerPam Georgiana is a brand strategist, marketing consultant, and writer who helps mission-driven organizations clarify their voice and strengthen their impact. With eight years leading the marketing department of a regional social service nonprofit, she understands the daily realities nonprofit leaders face.

Survey Rx Better Surveys, Smarter Visuals, Real Insight Tuesday, April 7, 2026 2:00 – 2:30 pm Registration and arrival2:30 – 4:00 pm Workshop 4:00 - 5:00 pm Networking + BYOS (Bring your own survey) 5:00 pm+ Optional happy hour at a local bistro Evanston Public Library 1703 Orrington Avenue | Evanston, IL First-floor community meeting room (Room 107) Other Considerations Parking and transit information will be sent with registration confirmation Feel free to stay afterwards for happy hour at a location near the library Workshop Description Most organizations use surveys to improve their work—but often, the data doesn't deliver. The questions miss the mark. The response rate is low. The results feel thin or confusing. And when it's time to act, the charts don't reveal much you can trust or use. This workshop (aka survey clinic) is here to fix that. With guidance from data experts, you'll gain practical tips to confidently review survey design and your results—so you can spot what's meaningful (and what's missing), even if you don't have a stats degree. Whether you're gathering feedback from staff, clients, or community members, this hands-on session for consultants and nonprofit staff will help you stop wishing for better data—and start using surveys as a real tool for learning and improvement. BYOS — Bring Your Own Survey! Stay after the workshop for our 4:00–5:00 PM networking hour, which includes the option to sign up for a free 10-minute one-on-one consultation with Amelia or Monica. Come with a survey you're wrestling with, a design question, or data you need help making sense of — and leave with answers. Facilitator Bios Monica Kaiser, MEd is an evaluation and data consultant who helps nonprofits strengthen their use of data for performance improvement and learning, impact reporting, and fundraising. She brings more than 25 years of experience in applied research, program evaluation, and data capacity-building. Prior to founding her own practice, Monica served as Senior Researcher and Director of Operations at Lodestar Management/Research, where she led large-scale, multi-year, mixed-methods evaluations. She brings a learning-centered, hands-on approach to consulting, helping organizations move from “data we have” to “data that helps.” Amelia Kohm, PhD is the founder of Data Viz for Nonprofits, where she helps organizations turn complex data into clear, compelling visuals that drive learning and impact. With more than 25 years of experience in human services research, funding, and evaluation, Amelia has led studies at Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago and served as a program officer at the Sears Roebuck Foundation and Illinois Humanities Council. She designs custom dashboards, reports, and infographics for nonprofits and leads trainings on practical, decision-focused data visualization.
