Training and Technical Support
Wyoming Nonprofit Network (WNN) has implemented WyoGives Connect, the required communication platform for WyoGives participating nonprofits. All announcements, resources, training materials, and updates will be shared through this platform, and nonprofits can schedule one-on-one support with the WNN team for specific questions that the Nonprofit FAQs and Donor FAQs pages do not answer.
The Wyoming Nonprofit Network team will host a series of training sessions to help participating organizations make the most of their WyoGives participation. These sessions will cover storytelling, donor engagement, platform navigation, and strategies to strengthen your WyoGives campaign. Recordings, slides, and additional resources will be made available after each training session. The upcoming trainings are listed below.
