Mission Triangle Workshop 1/24/19: Transformational Giving
Event Information
Description
Fundraising is proclaiming what we believe in such a way that we offer other people an opportunity to participate with us in our vision and mission. - Henri Nouwen
Every organization needs money. Thus, most nonprofits turn to fundraising….begrudgingly. But, what if fundraising was a gift to the giver and the nonprofit leader? What if it was seen as an opportunity to transform lives in the process of serving our community? THAT is the Biblical perspective of fundraising and while our culture often misses this point, we need to constantly be reminded of the deeper calling to all that we are doing as we interact with others.
Join us in this workshop as we explore how to generate resources for your organization while inviting others to join you in life changing work.
We will be looking deeper into the following topics:
- Understanding Why - A Biblical Approach to Fundraising
- Transformational Giving Philosophy
- "Champion" Development - Why Major Giving Partners Matter
- Understanding Your Current Status
- The Development Team - Understanding roles and Responsibilities
- Creating and Executing a Nonprofit Development Plan
- Financial Accountability for your Nonprofit
Upon registration, you will receive the link to the organizational Transformation Giving Assessment that we ask you to complete prior to attending the workshop. This assessment will be used to guide our discussion and help you determine the proper next steps for your organization.
