Description

Where is Bill Gates (and other philanthropists) when we need them? We know our cause is compelling but struggle to raise the funds for our organizations to grow and thrive. This interactive session enables participants to learn how to grow from an annual fund/special events framework into a major/ transformational gift program. Building on your strategic plan and cultivating engagement at both the grass roots and “community influencer” levels can lead to manageable goals and clear roles for board members, volunteers and staff. The elements of a strong “case for support” along with how to use it are included.
