Fundraising Bootcamp: Greeley

Sponsored By:

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Whip your fundraising efforts into shape at the first-ever Fundraising Bootcamp. The Colorado Nonprofit Association and AmPhil are partnering to provide an intensive, full-day immersion in the nitty-gritty of how to become a better, smarter fundraiser, and how to supercharge your organization’s development department.


Over the course of the day, we’ll take a close look at:

  • Common Features of Successful Nonprofits: Any nonprofit that’s in it for the long haul needs to have strong leadership, clear-eyed strategic vision, and healthy organizational culture. Developing those is easier said than done, but we have foolproof advice on where to start.
  • Fundraising Strategy: Your organization’s mission isn’t cookie-cutter, and your fundraising strategy shouldn’t be, either—which is where learning the power of donor segmentation, personalized communications, and compelling storytelling comes in.
  • Major Gifts: There’s simply no substitute for loyal major donors, and we’ll teach you the delicate art of bringing them in: how to cultivate relationships, personalize stewardship, and craft communications that truly resonate with your highest-impact givers.
  • Annual Funds: With the right approach, you can keep your current donors with you for the long haul, all while bringing in new givers. Tried-and-true strategies for creating a reliable, enduring stream of support will be on offer.

And a little something extra:

 

  • Lunch and Learn: Break bread and swap ideas with a Senior Program Officer from the Weld Trust at this exclusive luncheon. Talk current giving trends, glean insider perspectives, and build connections with a seasoned expert—and bring your own questions to the table!

Meant For: Emerging Nonprofit Leaders, Executive Directors, and Fundraising Professionals
