Grounded in Dr. Matthew J. Camp’s book Tend, this session applies the fire-tending framework to the emotional and organizational work of sustained advocacy — how to keep community energy alive long after the first spark. Steps include:
- Gather — identify the people, relationships, and community assets that are your kindling.
- Ignite — turn initial interest into a first concrete act of engagement.
- Tend — build the habits, check-ins, and rituals that keep engagement burning between big moments.
- Breathe — recognize burnout and setbacks early, and reignite momentum mindfully.
A New Approach to Workshop Pricing
We believe professional development should be accessible to nonprofit professionals regardless of what they or their organizations can afford.
Beginning this fall, all NPC workshops will use a three-tier sliding scale, adapted from Alexis J. Cunningfolk’s The Sliding Scale: A Tool of Economic Justice (the “Green Bottle Method”).
The idea is simple: choose the rate that best reflects your current resources. Every participant receives the same program, regardless of what they pay. No application, documentation, or explanation is required.
THE FULL GREEN BOTTLE — Choose this rate if you or your organization can comfortably pay the full cost of the program. Paying at this level helps NPC keep lower-cost options available to others.
THE TIPPED GREEN BOTTLE — Choose this rate if paying the full price would put meaningful pressure on your personal or organizational budget.
THE LOW GREEN BOTTLE — Choose this rate if cost would otherwise prevent you from participating.
There is no “right” tier. We trust you to choose the one that makes participation sustainable for you.
