Raising Major Gifts for Education

Free Admission

A special "Funding for Education Month" program.

As part of "Funding for Education Month" in June, the Foundation Center is pleased to present a special program with Laura Fredricks, author of The Ask: How to Ask Anyone for Any Amount for Any Purpose.

With scarce resources, and people wondering when and if they can give, there are proven techniques on how any size institution can raise money now for education. Come hear Laura Fredricks share her success stories and case studies to learn how your organization can raise money now. This presentation will focus on how to identify, cultivate, ask, follow through, and steward major gifts.
