Nonprofits: Visit us the last Wednesday of every month for OneSource Center Shoppers Club’s “Open Shopping Day”! All qualifying tax-exempt organizations including public and private schools, government bodies and religious institutions can shop monthly on this day. Nonprofits wanting unlimited weekday access to the Shoppers Club are asked to become Shoppers Club members, with membership usually recouped at the first visit.

OneSource Center is constantly listening to our nonprofit friends and striving to find ways to support your organization in better fulfilling its mission. One thing we repeatedly hear is how to address the need for meeting and training space.  We’ve listened to you! OneSource Center has researched and located facilities that are available for FREE to nonprofits. Check our website for a list of available rooms with reservation information. The website will be continually updated as more spaces are available. Be sure to bookmark this page for future reference! OneSource Center is a nonprofit ourselves, and we are constantly working to help you more!

United Way of Greater Cincinnati and Procter and Gamble (P&G) have partnered together to provide over 1,900 nonprofit staff members unlimited access to Coursera for one year at no cost. Coursera is an online platform that provides universal access to world class learning.  Coursera partners with over 200 university and industry partners to provide a variety of guided projects, courses, specializations, certificates, and bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Nonprofits can use Coursera to learn about fields such as information tech, data science, IT support, project management, UX design, and much more! Users can also brush project management, UX design, and much more! Users can also brush up on basic skills like word processing, new languages, and math and science fundamentals.

Following feedback from nonprofit clients, OneSource Center recently tested and added a DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) component to our FREE Nonprofit Checkup. The Nonprofit Checkup helps agencies narrow down the top priorities to undertake in the upcoming year. With the new DEI component, the free assessment can be used to review governance, recruitment, and organizational culture — all important elements for review! Other modules included in the FREE Nonprofit Checkup include leadership capacity, management capacity, operational capacity and readiness to adapt to change.  Organizations that have utilized this evaluation tool sing its praises.  (Read a testimonial here.)  

Demonstrate to your stakeholders that you are on the cutting edge of service delivery with this DEI-sensitive Nonprofit Checkup tool. Contact Vickie Ciottii, Vice President, Consulting Services to schedule your assessment today! A conversation is FREE, and could get your organization on a path to improved DEI initiatives.
