This class is geared towards those who have experience working for or serving on the board of a nonprofit or have taken “Beyond the Bake Sale: How to Raise Money for Your Nonprofit.”
For half the night, you’ll put on the hat of an Executive Director and for the other half, you’ll wear the coat of the Chair of the Board of Trustees. What are the fundraising tools needed to ensure your philanthropy will succeed? Taking on both of these perspectives, we will draft a fundraising strategic plan.
Tackle real questions faced by professionals and as volunteers, dive into case studies and role play so that you walk away from class with the confidence to ask for major gifts.
