Introduction to Fundraising for Non-Profits
February 07, 2024
09:00 AM to 12:00 PM
We know many non-profits must fundraise to ensure their programming and services can continue to run but many don't know where to start with their fundraising efforts.
Our Introduction to Fundraising Basics workshop is designed to provide the essential knowledge and skills to excel in small non-profit fundraising!
We will cover a range of topics, including understanding the Donor Cycle in Fundraising, which explores the different stages of engaging donors and building long-term relationships. Be introduced to effective tools and strategies for Donor Prospecting, enabling you to identify and engage potential donors for their organizations. We will also focus on creating a fundraising mix tailored to each organization's unique needs and goals.
Lastly, we will emphasize the importance of working collaboratively with boards in a fundraising context.
You will leave the workshop equipped with the foundational skills and insights necessary to embark on successful fundraising initiatives and make a positive impact on your organizations.
