Start here with an introductory webinar designed to build a foundation of understanding of the vocabulary and common challenges and solutions faced by multi-entity, base-building, and membership organizations. We’ll explore membership models and key considerations of effectively engaging members and supporters in both 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) work. The strategies and tactics covered in this webinar help organizers and multi-entity leaders think imaginatively and critically about how they might structure their work to build a widespread and engaged base of supporters across the family of organizations they use to build power.
