For Impact Major Gifts Meet-up - Orlando

MEET-UP OVERVIEW

The For Impact Meet-up is a high-level, small group, caffeinated session with For Impact team members in your city. It won’t turn you into a funding rockstar but it will give you the tools to head in that direction based on our experiences raising over $2Billion.

“A short meet-up like this is offers a high-level look at the most important and productive funding frameworks for major gifts… for executive directors and board members… to help them with story, engaging prospects and simplifying the ask…. People only remember 2-3 things from a session so this is an opportunity to ONLY focus on the 2-3 things that would have the biggest impact on an organization’s impact and income.”

OUR MISSION

Through For Impact we’re trying to scale the impact of The Suddes Group… moving the entire ‘third sector’ toward greater impact. As such we seek to share everything we’re doing in the field through The Suddes Group through teleseminars, our daily nuggets and these meet-ups.
