We’ve all been there. The boss (or board) hands down a wildly unrealistic fundraising goal and it’s your job to meet it. And here you are, not even 100% sure how to successfully solicit a gift.
Do you start calling your biggest donors? What do you say? How do you even get your foot in the door for a meeting? In this workshop you’ll learn how to figure out how much you can realistically raise and which donors to focus on.
In this session you will learn:
- How to build a major gifts portfolio.
- How to zero in on your top prospects.
- Tools and strategies to get your foot in the door with donors and prospects.
