About

With the evolving coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis, we know it’s a challenging time for everyone. To support your work and ensure our trainings are more accessible during this difficult time, we’re offering this program at an early-bird price of $49 – half of the standard cost. The price increases to $99 one week before the event on September 15, 2020.  

We all want to grow our individual donor base, but where to start? If you’re interested in learning how to find new individual donors - especially during the COVID-19 era, then join us as we will provide practical strategies for finding new donor prospects who share a passion for your organization’s mission. You’ll walk away with inspiration, confidence, and the next steps that you can immediately apply to your fundraising, even during a pandemic.

This hands-on, two-part virtual workshop will include interactive virtual sessions where you will learn real-world experiences and scenarios from our experienced instructors, engage in peer discussions in small group virtual breakout sessions, and walk away with relevant takeaways and practical strategies for fundraising in the current landscape. This course will also include self-paced assignments to complete between the two live sessions.
