Workshop: Fundraise Awesomer! How Not to Suck at Managing the 10,000 Things on Your Plate in Order to Find Time to Build Better Donor Relationships

Fundraising is Hard. Anyone who says differently is selling something.

But for the nonprofit leader who wears 10,000 different hats every day, how on earth are you supposed to find time to work on donor relationships and manage the unreasonable expectations of board members and executive directors who have little to no fundraising experience yet seem to be full of awesome ideas like “Just call Oprah” or “host a bake sale!”?

A fundraising framework that helps you move the needle forward a little bit every day, that’s how.

In this session, you’ll learn a tangible, achievable, and dare I say simple way to ensure that you spend invaluable time working on building better relationships with your supporters with better planning, execution, and documentation – all while carving out random acts of celebrating and appreciating.

Key Takeaways:

• Create your own working fundraising framework to use the very next day.
• Understand the importance of asking better questions to donors, documenting those answers, and dramatically differentiating yourself from other nonprofits.
• Remembering that fundraising is supposed to be a joy, rather than a drag.
