Our programme is specifically designed for the current challenges and needs of the non-profit sector. The webinars, workshops and Focus Days are divided into seven subject areas: Support & Develop, Community & Fundraising, Communication, Governance & Compliance, Technology, Future & Innovation, Finance. We also share events organised by our partners in the non-profit sector.

What do the different formats offer and who are they available to?

  • Webinars: Our webinars are usually 30- to 60-minute inputs that give you an overview of a topic in a short time. They are led by our in-house experts or accompanied by experts from the sector. Take advantage of the free webinars to get started in the world of philanthropy. Our webinars, workshops and Focus Days are perfect for rookies, interested people, professionals and anyone who wants to refresh their knowledge.

  • Workshops: Immerse yourself for three hours in an intensive workshop format and gain practical insight into a key topic in philanthropy. Using concrete case studies and with room for your questions, you develop your own ideas further and gain confidence in dealing with current challenges. Ideal for anyone who wants to explore a topic in depth.

  • Focus Days: The Focus Days of the Spheriq Academy offer a continuous training format for organisations that want to develop their digital grant-making or fundraising practice effectively. They combine expert input, hands-on work and co-creation into a learning framework that strategically strengthens digital skills. Participation in the Focus Days requires a Pro or Partner access to Spheriq. With the Spheriq Academy Pass you get access to all Focus Days of a year. Additional online passes can be booked for participation as an organisation. For teams of five or more employees, we are happy to create an individual offer.
