Event Details

This event is offered in partnership with Nonprofit New York.

Have you considered the art and science aspects of the major gift fundraising process? Technological advancements in wealth screening and better prospect and donor database management systems have refined the science. Blended with the art of persuasion, these tools can help you become an even better major gift fundraiser. Designed for executive directors and development directors, the session will provide ample time to answer your questions.

Key Takeaways:

  • Master the Art and Science of the Major Gift Ask at every stage — from crafting a compelling case for support to identifying, qualifying, educating, and cultivating potential donors.
  • Learn effective strategies for conducting major gift solicitations with confidence and impact.
  • Enhance your donor relationships by integrating the major gift ask into ongoing engagement and stewardship activities.

This workshop will be presented by Kevin Wallace, President of CampaignCounsel.org, & Melissa Sais, Vice President of CampaignCounsel.org

Participants who complete the post-session evaluation can receive a PDF copy of the presentation.
