Web Conference: Creating a Successful Fundraising Culture: Twelve Tools for Motivating Your Board
New York
Wednesday, August 12, 2009
1:00-3:00 pm
Free at the Foundation Center
The Greater New York Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) and the Foundation Center are pleased to present a web conference with Carole V. Rylander, principal at Rylander Associates.
Why are so many volunteers and staff members reluctant to participate in approaching prospects and donors? How can board chairs, development committee members, nonprofit CEOs and professional fundraising staff lead their board teams to own—and even enjoy—the essential and ultimately rewarding work of major gifts fundraising? In this practical train-the-trainer session, topics address the needs of nonprofit leaders who want to increase volunteer and staff participation in approaching and engaging prospects and donors.
This workshop provides 12 tools and activities that board leadership and staff can use to:
- Provide a framework for understanding prospect and donor needs
- Increase the comfort level and confidence of staff and volunteers in approaching prospects and donors
At the conclusion of the web conference, Greg Zuroski, a consultant with years of experience working with board members at Brooklyn Children’s Museum and Friend’s Academy in Long Island, NY, will facilitate an in-person discussion.
Target Audience
All nonprofit representatives who need tools and materials to train board members about raising money, as well as to motivate them and gain their cooperation, will benefit from this session. Appropriate for all levels.
