Fund Development: Cultivation and Solicitation

October 30, 2018 @ 1:00 pm - 7:30 pm

A successful fundraising program is as much about knowing your donors as it is about achieving financial goals. The bottom line is that you MUST talk about money with your donors in order to both know them and ask for their charitable contributions.

Through the training you will practice and gain comfort in direct and meaningful fundraising conversations by:

Learning the “Arc of the Ask” as a model for designing and managing intentional conversations and direct of practice of listening skills
Developing specific strategies for several of your important donors: increasing annual fund giving, becoming a sustaining donor, giving to a specific project, and considering a bequest
Receiving feedback in your practice conversations to improve your listening and asking skills
Engaging your Executive Director and board members in fundraising and development practices

Target Audience:

Executive Directors, nonprofit staff members, and board members who want to strengthen fundraising skills and knowledge. This program gives those seeking a comprehensive overview for making direct solicitations.
