The Fundraising Conferences
Professional fundraisers from near and far convene to receive invaluable and practical information for increasing their organizations donations. Executive Directors, Development Directors, Special Events Directors, Managers, and representatives of non-profit organizations, trusts or foundations benefit from our offerings. As fundraising becomes increasingly competitive, fundraisers must understand:
- Who their target donors are
- Why donors give
- How donors choose to give
Each conference includes easily applied and highly effective general sessions that participants can use to hone their skills and learn new techniques. Additional sessions offer new perspectives on old traditions, discuss recent trends, and encourage sharing of success stories.
Fundraising today can be a brutal business. And when the economy becomes shaky and individuals become scared, the competition for donated funds is fierce! However, we understand the tools and techniques that help one become a successful fundraiser and wish to share those with you.
Some of the most easily applied and highly effective conference sessions are listed below. As these sessions are ones that most non-profit organizations could use to hone their skills and learn new techniques, many of these are offered during the conferences already scheduled. Our goal is to cover some basics, but also offer new perspectives on old traditions, discuss recent trends and encourage sharing of success stories.
