If you’ve ever thought about starting a nonprofit or wondered how to pitch your nonprofit to funders and supporters, The Greater Sum Foundation has two practical courses available on the new Weave Learning Center for community builders and changemakers across the country.

The Starting a Nonprofit course covers what founders wish they had known before getting started: how to move from vision to structure and how to make decisions that set your organization up for long-term success. It’s designed for people who are already taking action in their communities and want to build something lasting.

The Pitching Your Nonprofit course draws on The Greater Sum’s expertise helping early-stage organizations tell their story with clarity and confidence. You’ll learn how to craft a concise, compelling message that resonates with funders, donors, and partners, whether you’re applying for a grant, presenting at a community event, or making your first fundraising ask.

“We appreciate the opportunity to share these courses with a wider audience of weavers,” said Anna Taylor, Executive Director of The Greater Sum Foundation. “Our hope is to meet people earlier in their nonprofit founder journey—when ideas are forming, energy is high, and a little practical guidance can make a big difference.”

The courses are hosted in the Weaving Us community, a national network of “weavers” who are strengthening the fabric of trust where they live. Inside the Learning Center, you’ll find resources created by practitioners, opportunities to learn alongside peers, and upcoming live workshops where you can earn badges for your progress.
