NON-PROFIT FUNDRAISING & BOARD DEVELOPMENT
Non-Profit Fundraising
CAPITAL CAMPAIGN TRAINING. GET IT RIGHT FROM THE START. (1 Day)
Considering and conducting a capital campaign.
Most charitable organizations reach a point where someone around the table –fund development staff, a member of the Board, an ambitious ED – says “We should run a capital campaign.” Read More
Developing a Case For Support:For both the head and heart of a donor (1 day)
In a competitive market, donors and others whose support you need are bombarded with competing demands, appeals and ideas. How do you gain a hearing for your organization? Under pressure to perform, we search for clever slogans, marketing ideas and the next “ice bucket challenge.” But the most strategic communications tool for charitable and not-for-profit organizations is the Case for Support.

Legacy Giving Development/Planned Giving ( 1 Day)
Most people shy away because it is considered a difficult topic to start with a donor. It is intimidating to even consider developing a legacy giving program for any non-profit. It’s about a gift in their will after they pass-away. We have some very Good News. Read More
Long Range Sustainable Funding - How to ask for a major gift (1 day)
For many Non-profits, fundraising is usually centered around events. There is nothing wrong in running events but pretty soon events can start running you! The board and executive director often ask, “Is it worth all the effort for the amount we actually raise? Is there is a way to engage donors in a meaningful way with less effort and create sustainable long-range funding?" Learn how to decrease the dependency on events. Read More.
Developing A Comprehensive Fundraising Strategy (1 day)
Many non-profits, especially smaller agencies, lack the resources and expertise to design a comprehensive fundraising strategy. It seems the "Tyranny of the Urgent" does not allow us to plan strategically.
This workshop looks at the "BIG PICTURE", shows how each area of fundraising is dependent on the other for maximum effectiveness and, most important, helps you create the much-needed strategy. Read More.
Board Development
Non-Profit Board Excellence Model (1 day)
This workshop walks you through the foundations that make a good board great. Just like your vehicle, you often get the best performance when it's taken in for a tune-up. For many who attend this workshop is a tune-up session that helps develop a healthy and growing board. It provides a platform to review a board at its best, identify root causes of success and discover areas of development. Read More.
The facilitator is Gary MacDonald who is a partner in Alliance For Board Effectiveness
Board Policy Development training (1 Day)
Board policies are often relegated to the bottom of the priority list while boards deal with what they see as more pressing issues. By taking a step back and developing a Board Policy Manual, boards will discover that many of the pressing issues they are dealing with are a result of not having good board policies and practices in place. This training helps stop the cycle, which give boards a system and the tools to build on. Read More
Non-Profit ONLINE Board Assessment Tool
The online assessment tool is set up so that all board members are sent a link. We set up for them to click and complete an assessment tool online. We track who has completed the process and gently remind those who have yet to complete it. It only takes about 3 minutes with 21 questions. We produce a full report with graphs on the results.
Because it is anonymous, all Board members can fully express their perspective. We then provide a follow-up assessment call to review the report with the CEO/Board Chair(s). This is a FREE service.
