Building Your Fundraising Confidence from the Ground Up!

This two hour interactive workshop will take you through a process that will build your confidence in fundraising from whatever position you hold within your nonprofit.  You will gain momentum in fundraising with every stakeholder, from staff to board members to the constituents who benefit from the nonprofit.

Learning Objectives

Through exercises meant to elicit breakthroughs in confidence building, participants will:
- Understand how everyone can be an excellent fundraiser and how everyone can be an excellent contributor to their cause
