NGP VAN Training
Welcome to the NGP VAN Training + Resources page!
Over the past few cycles, Fundraising, Compliance, and Organizing have evolved, and so has NGP VAN. This space is designed to provide you with information on live training webinars, key resources, and updated guides that identify new features (as well as updates to your favorite tools) and how to use them in the ever-changing world of political fundraising, compliance, fieldwork, organizing, digital strategy, and social networking. Be sure to look out for our tips and tricks, which highlight some lesser-known features, our how-to documents and checklists, as well as best practices we've gathered from working with campaigns over the years.
Kickstart your organizing journey with our engaging webinars on turf cutting, canvassing, and GOTV strategies using VAN, SmartVAN, MiniVAN and Mobilize. Join us to boost your skills and make a real impact!
