Workshop Description: There is nothing more lonely or unproductive than a one-person development team. Oftentimes, development professionals are hired with expectations that they’ll handle all of the individual giving, grant writing and events planning as a solo entity. Or an executive director finds her/himself in a position of splitting time between organizational management and fundraising, never quite having enough time to dedicate to the latter.

Effective, results-based campaigns are those which fully engage all key stakeholders of a nonprofit. Clearly defined roles for board, staff and volunteers with accountability and ownership are crucial in both stewardship and donor solicitation. In this interactive workshop, you will develop a comprehensive plan to engage your key stakeholders in all areas of fundraising from cultivation to solicitation.
