This document outlines tips for designing and delivering effective nonprofit trainings. It discusses common reasons why trainings fail, such as including too much information, not resonating with audiences, and lacking interaction. The document recommends treating training design like instructional design by analyzing needs, writing interactive plans with objectives and activities, and evaluating outcomes. Specific tips include using Bloom's taxonomy to set objectives, targeting the right level of authority, knowing the audience, incorporating breaks, interactive exercises, and opening/closing activities to engage participants and help them apply the material. The webinar format models these recommendations by including polls, discussions, and stretches to maintain interactivity.
