[MCN] Nonprofits-Want to Raise More Money Through Major Gifts? Early Bird Rate through July 2nd!

[Meredith Printz]

Happy Summer!

Now that spring fundraising season is behind us, our thoughts turn to year-end fundraising. Wouldn't it be nice if you could be better at securing major gifts so you can meet and even exceed your budgetary goals?

Are you a nonprofit executive director, board member or development director who is?

·    Experienced but facing new challenges?

·    Planning a capital campaign?

·    Seeking new tools and models to manage and develop financial resources for your nonprofit organization?

·    New to a leadership or major gifts role?

You are invited.  Kick-start your major gift and campaign work, and engage your board – regardless of where you are starting from.

What: 3 half-day long, in-person, work/training sessions + 3 customized webinars + 6 one-on-one coaching sessions starting in mid-September, 2017. The series is designed for only 12 nonprofits to ensure personalized focus.

Where & When: Starts Sept. 11. The program begins mid-September, 2017 and runs through April, 2018. It’s long enough to make real progress, short enough to fit into your schedule. During the first meeting the rest of the sessions will be calendared based on your availability.

Why: Major gifts and successful campaign drives are critical to the future of many nonprofits. But cookie cutter models don’t fit. This series is designed to help you discover the right combination of strategy and tools that fit your resources and to enable you to become more successful at raising major and campaign gifts. 

Presenter #1) Kevin Johnson’s first capital campaign was in 1981 where he had the opportunity to learn from one of nation’s masters. The world of major and campaign fundraising continues to evolve and Kevin has played a vital role in more than a hundred projects and initiatives involving education, health, conservation, art, community, and social causes throughout the U.S. and Canada. These projects attracted more than $141 million in local and national support. He has also written a well-received book for the nonprofit sector published by Jossey-Bass/Wiley and endorsed by Bill Gates, Sr.   

Presenter #2) Peggy M. Owens, CFRE, is a trainer, consultant and coach for organizations with an emphasis on fundraising, board development, strategic planning and meeting facilitation. She has more than 30 years of experience and a proven record of success in nonprofit consulting, administration and fund development. She is the founding board chair of the Montana Nonprofit Association. 

Logistics & Format. The format of the sessions and webinars will vary and include a combination of discussion of issues at hand, review of relevant examples or cases, in-depth brainstorming on an individual challenge, case studies with specific donors, and presentation.

Cost. Early Bird Pricing through July 2nd! The cost is less than attending a single out-of-state conference; the value far greater. The fee is a monthly amount over seven months. The “early bird” monthly fee is $225 over seven months (7 x $225 = $1,575). Note: “Early bird” fee available for enrollments before July 2, “discount” pricing for enrollments between 7/3-31, full price for enrollments after July 31.
