You and major donors: using your strengths for good
How can we create the best home for a major donor? What do they want from us? What happens in that first meeting? What can go wrong – and how can you avoid it?
This workshop will lead you through the real-life practice of major donor fundraising, using case studies of real philanthropists and organisations that have won this kind of support, and you will learn about a fast-growing tool for major donors, the donor-advised fund. Come away with a fresh understanding of how to use your personal strengths to build relationships with philanthropists and how to bring your personality, your story, and your energy into the first meeting with a potential major donor.
Who is it for?
Fundraising directors, CEOs, and major donor fundraisers.
