“Immediately following the workshop I was contacted by one of our donors regarding planned giving. Thanks to your workshop I was able to convey all the necessary information and secured the planned giving gift.”

We will work with you to design a curriculum that meets your unique needs.

Here is a sample of some of the topics we can cover:

  • Key elements of fundraising success

  • Steps to successful fundraising from individual donors

  • Getting over the fear of asking

  • Making an ask

  • Creating a major gifts program

  • Building a fundraising team

  • Developing effective boards

  • The role of the board in fundraising

  • Creating a fundraising plan

  • Fundraising campaigns

  • Writing effective appeals

  • Integrating fundraising and program work

  • Planned giving for small nonprofits

  • Fundraising to build grassroots power

  • Fundraising in uncertain times

Your fundraising workshop really fired up the board, and that is a real first. I also appreciate that you had such an intimate feel for our organization just from the literature I sent you. No one has quite connected to the important stuff as you did.
