Event Description
Description:
Expectations for frontline officers to raise larger gifts in a shorter amount of time is becoming increasingly common in philanthropy -- not to mention competing for donor attention and the demand for more gifts. What’s a fundraiser to do?
New Approaches to Major and Principal Gifts will address these issues by providing new skill-building approaches to meaningfully engage donors, best practices for major gift work, and strategy sessions with your peers and seasoned professionals to develop a work plan that leads to greater success.
Learning outcomes include:
- Discovering best practice approaches to major and principal gift work
- Developing new skills to effectively secure major gifts in the shortest amount of time
- Understanding new metrics and the importance of using a work plan to improve performance
- Working collaboratively to advance your institution
This complimentary training also includes case studies, group exercises, and a panel discussion of senior professionals from academic and health institutions.
