Nonprofit Board Fundraising Training

This results-oriented workshop prepares nonprofit boards to fulfill their role in fundraising. The fast-paced three-hour workshop increases understanding of the development process and emphasizes getting over the fear of fundraising. We start from wherever your board happens to be. The centerpiece is a live role-playing session where board members practice what they’ve learned in a safe, no-fail setting.

Workshop Cost: Pricing for the workshop is scaled to organization budget size. The flat fee includes prep time, the workshop, and a follow-up phone consultation to make sure the workshop integrates with your ongoing development activities. If this workshop sounds like something your organization can use, confirm a date with me and call up your board. A 1/3 deposit holds a date for you.
