Cybersecurity for Nonprofits: From Awareness to Action
When: Wednesday, January 14th, 2026
Where: Marietta College
Price: $35 per person
Registration Link
Cybersecurity is not just a concern for large corporations. Nonprofits are increasingly being targeted by cybercriminals, and the consequences can be devastating. This interactive half-day workshop is designed specifically for nonprofit leaders and staff to strengthen their organization’s defenses without relying on expensive tools or equipment.
We will provide an overview of today’s most common cybersecurity threats and offer three hands-on sessions where participants will:
- Develop stronger policies that promote security awareness and accountability.
- Conduct a risk assessment by identifying critical data, potential threats, and vulnerabilities.
- Build contingency plans, including incident response, disaster recovery, and business continuity strategies.
Participants will leave with practical insights, starter templates, and actionable steps tailored to their own organizations. No technical background is required.
Participants are encouraged to bring any current policies, technology guidelines, or resources your organization already has—we’ll use them as a starting point to build stronger protections.
