How do you optimize the value and productivity of your fundraising efforts?
How do you best engage your trustees to join in and support your fundraising work?
How can you make the best use of your time out of the office (and, yes, get out more often)?
Finding and cultivating individual donors is a work-intensive, long-term investment for any organization but is particularly challenging to manage with a small staff and modest budget. Hear from professionals who have successfully (and efficiently!) mastered the techniques of identifying and cultivating individual support, and hear their ideas for scaling these activities to fit your staffing and budget size. At this workshop you’ll learn about proven methods for successful individual giving efforts, including:
Building a Framework for Annual Giving
Prospecting
Cultivating
Soliciting
Creating a System of Accountability
Board and Staff Roles and Tracking Activity
Making the "big ask
Stewardship and Relationship Building

Join us and get yourself prepared to make the big ask!
