We’re really excited about this upcoming training and hope you take advantage of it! Time is running out to register and space is limited so REGISTER TODAY!

We’re going to be talking about how you, as a Board Member or Executive Director, can evaluate, support and guide your organization’s fundraising program while still allowing the fundraisers to do their jobs. Most training is geared toward the front line fundraisers, but your job is to understand what a great fundraising program looks like and what to do if your organization’s fundraising isn’t effective. So if you’d like easy-t0-understand and practical advice on how to oversee a fundraising program– this training is for you!

  • WHERE: Fulcrum Capital, 1111 Third Ave, Seattle, WA 98101
  • COST: FREE!

You’ll learn:

  • The two performance metrics you should focus on: net revenue and retention rate
  • The three things your organization needs to be doing, especially with Major Donors
  • How Boards can govern their organization’s fundraising but still let the fundraisers do their jobs
  • What successful donor-focused fundraising looks and sounds like

Early Bird deadline: July 15th!

The Nonprofit Storytelling Conference is in Chicago this November – and the conference is running an “early bird” discount for people who sign up by July 15th.

Go here to learn more, sign up, and receive your discount.

An INCREDIBLE lineup will be presenting at the conference.  You’ll learn how you can use storytelling to engage your donors and raise more money.  And I can easily say that last year’s event in Seattle was the best conference I’ve ever been too.  The expertise, the camaraderie – everyone present wants to do their job better, and will happily share what they’ve learned with you.  It feels more like a family-reunion than a conference — only if you liked everyone in your family and you were all working towards the same purpose!

Jim is presenting on how you can use Ask, Thank, Report, Repeat to raise more money from your major donors.  Steven will be co-presenting with Tom Ahern and Jeff Brooks on how to make your donor newsletter a donor-delighting, money-raising machine.

We hope to see you there – and don’t miss out on getting a discount!
