How to ask for Money

Gaining Major Donors

09:30 AM at Goodman Community Center (Length: 90 min)

This “crash course” in fundraising is designed to provide Board members and staff with basic concepts in major donor cultivation and solicitation. We start with current philanthropic trends and essential information about why people give money, and end with a fool-proof outline that anyone can use to ask for anything. Attendees emerge feeling that fundraising is a little less frightening and with new confidence that their objectives can be reached. This course is most valuable for organizations that have at least two representatives in attendance.
