Blueprint for Fundraising Success

November 20, 2018 by admin

Share this:

If you believe in your organization and can articulate why you work for it and support it, you are 95% of the way to becoming an effective fundraiser.  A Blueprint for Fundraising Success will help attendees learn strategies to most efficiently meet the financial needs of their organization.  During our time together, we will discuss:

    • Making Your Case – Storytelling, “Elevator Pitches,” and “Sound Bites”
    • Structures and ROI
    • Leveraging Your “Natural Resources”
    • Building the Habit of Giving
    • Asking for Support
