Description

***THIS SESSION IS OPEN TO ALL ATTENDEES***

BOARDS WITH BRAINS is SVP’s board governance education series (learn more, below). Join us for our 2015 trainings, like this one: Fundraising isn't actually about money. It's about people who share values combining their resources to improve their communities. In this session, nonprofit board members and staff will learn the best techniques for inviting donors to support their organizations, while fulfilling their own vision for a better world!

About this Session:

Are you a board member who would like to be out asking for major donations, but you're just not sure how to do it? Are you a staff member who needs to brush up on your major gift skills? This is one of Front Range Source's most popular and interactive workshops. We'll focus on tactics that take you through every stage of the ask:

-Before the ask. Learn strategies for getting the meeting and planning your visit
-During the ask. Practice tried and true approaches that thake the mystery out of making the ask.
-After the ask. Explore methods for closing the deal and establishing a lasting relationship between your organization and the donor.

Most importantly, we'll let you practice. Role-plays and other exercises will build your confidence and get you ready to be out their raising money for your mission! Participants will learn to:

  • Understand donor motivations and tailor the ask to the donor's needs.

  • Prepare thoroughly and thoughtfully for a solicitation

  • Make a successful ask

About our Presenter:

Ann Goldman spent the first 16 years of her nonprofit career in Chicago and then moved to the foothills west of Boulder in 2006 in pursuit of a little more skiing fresh air. She has worked as a senior development staff member at some large institutions. Ann has served as a board member at some small and mid-sized organizations. As a consultant she has worked across the spectrum. In every case, fundraising success has come down to a cultural commitment to the donor. More than twenty years in, Ann is delighted to be in fundraising. It’s good, challenging work and she firmly believes we are changing the world – one gift at a time.

About the BOARDS WITH BRAINS series:

SVP Boulder County is invested in strengthening our shared community's social sector. We want to help make our nonprofits and the people who run them wildly successful, and, we believe strong leaders – both staff and board – help create capable organizations.

With that in mind, we've designed our BOARDS WITH BRAINS professional development series. We've got recurring sessions covering governance fundamentals (a nice refresher, or first-timer introduction), as well as sessions digging into leadership topics (deep-dives into specific areas of governance best practice).

And, to make it easy for as many Boulder County leaders to sign up, sessions are priced accessibly. Our per-session fee is a below-market $30, and each session includes a limited number of scholarship slots. Additionally, we offer a transferable, 8-punch passes (resulting in a 20% discount, just $24/session!).

We do hope you’ll join us – sign up now, and, if you need assistance purchasing a series punch pass, or details on scholarships, get in touch by emailing Olga now.
