Webinar with Valerie M. Jones
A fundraiser's greatest challenge can be board members who can’t, don’t or won’t ask for gifts.
This session provides five simple steps to engage your board in inspired and authentic fundraising. You’ll learn how they can increase donor retention and how to turn their fundraising fears into solicitation strengths. You’ll learn how each board member can thank, engage, research, cultivate, and ask donors in the way that’s best for them.
Jones’s method gets results. Studies show 100% of boards trained in this method are more confident that they can fundraise and 100% of these boards are more willing to do so.
Take-aways include your own in-depth asking personality profile, an effective board fundraising exercise, and cultivation and goal-setting templates.
