Capital campaigns are the 900 pound gorillas in fund raising.  They can lead to magnificent  results and raise your fund raising effort to a new higher level.  Yet capital campaigns require very careful planning and execution.  Simple and easily-avoided mistakes can derail your campaign and prevent you from achieving success. Learn the basics before you get started.  We cover feasibility studies, goal setting, using consultants and counting campaign results. This session is designed for CEOs, Board Members and Development Directors. Taught by John Elbare, CFP.  Registration fee: $59.00

 First Steps in Planned Giving
1:00 pm -- 3:00 pm

Getting started in planned giving is easier than you think.  You do not need specially-trained staff nor a big budget.  You can effectively and consistently raise planned gifts from your donors with your current staff and a small budget.  We show you how to get started the right way, so your organization can enjoy its share of the enormous wealth transfer that is now taking place.  We cover basic planned gift marketing, working with donors, and how to get technical support when you need it.  If you are not receiving planned gifts, you need to attend this session.  Taught by John Elbare, MBA, CFP.  Registration fee: $59.00.
