As part of our Nonprofit Strength Initiative, Hutchinson Community Foundation invites applications from Reno County nonprofit organizations to Magnify, a two-day workshop presented by NonprofitGO founder and Executive Director, Vickie Kline.

Vickie has been working in the nonprofit community for over 30 years, and for 16 of those years she served as finance director for Music Theatre Wichita. In 2018, Vickie created NonprofitGO (NPGO) with a mission to mentor and educate nonprofit organizations in standard business practices, helping them to achieve sustainability, build capacity, and enhance their quality of community services. To date, NPGO has served over 200 nonprofits.

When and where is the Magnify two-day workshop?

The workshop will take place Wednesday, November 3 and Thursday, November 4 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Hutchinson Community Foundation’s Collaboration Corner.

What is Magnify?

The two-day Magnify workshop will include information on the fundamentals of managing a nonprofit, topics essential to sustaining a healthy nonprofit organization, and program delivery will include both interactive and lecture styles.

• Mission, Vision, Values – Reviewing your organization’s mission, vision, and values to determine if they appropriately represent the organization and its work
• Understanding Equity – Discussing how equity begins with staff and the board; giving full representation to populations served; an internal look at the organization and the ever-changing equity process
•  Financial Reports – An overview of standard financial reports, such as balance sheet, income statement, and budget vs actual–even if you’re not an accountant, administrative staff should have the ability to read financial reports and know what they mean
• Revenue Streams – The standard revenue streams and how organizations should tap into each for effective fundraising: are you leaving dollars on the table?
•  Being Grant Ready – What does it take to be “grant ready” and provide funders with appropriate information to win more awards.
• Reviewing Form 990’s – A brief overview of the Form 990, why it’s important, and who has responsibility for filing. Learning about the Public Support Test and “tipping.”
• Organizational and Program Budgeting – How to budget effectively; the differences between organizational and program budgets, and connections between the two (Guest speaker Ted Kriwiel will talk about appropriate software for nonprofit organizations)
• Board Governance – How to recruit and retain board members; where to look for new board members

Also included in the experience:

• • Quick Consult with a NonprofitGO staff member – A one-hour consultation is a required element of this learning opportunity. Each participating nonprofit organization will contact Vickie to schedule a time and determine a topic area for the consult. Quick Consults should be completed no later than December 4, 2026.
  • Cohort follow-up gathering – Hutchinson Community Foundation will send a scheduling poll to find a time to gather the Magnify learning cohort in January 2027. The purpose of the gathering will be to reconnect and share how each organizations’ learning was implemented, what successes and challenges they have experienced, and what feedback they have for Hutch CF regarding past and future professional development opportunities.

Who should register for Magnify?

Staff of any Reno County nonprofit organization who believe they would benefit from learning or reviewing the topics covered in Magnify and the knowledge and experiences of others in the learning cohort. This expends to experienced staff who see topic areas worthy of review, along with areas for potential growth and staff who are new to nonprofit work or a particular organization and would benefit from learning more about both.

Board members who seek a better understanding of the knowledge and skills required to sustain a nonprofit, allowing fulfillment of the organization’s mission. As well as board members who support staff’s continued learning and want to help staff bring new approaches and ideas back to the organization.

We ask each organization to send two participants to Magnify and that those participants be available to attend the entirety of the two-day workshop. Participants from an organization can be a combination of staff and board member or two staff members.

Cohort size will be limited to 12 organizations.

The deadline to register is October 9, 2026.
