OVERVIEW

As a non-profit leader, you know that raising money and keeping donors happy is absolutely vital to your organisation’s success. But with so many demands on your time and energy, it can be hard to find the time to focus on this crucial task.
That’s why we’re so excited about our upcoming Fundraising Masterclass! This workshop will give you the skills and confidence you need to take action and turbocharge your organisational fundraising.
We’ve assembled a team of experts who have been working in fundraising for decades—and they’re going to share their best tips with you in a way that’s practical, engaging, and fun. They’ll show you how to understand what qualities are essential for building an organisational culture for fundraising to thrive, making strategic partnerships and much more!
The program is curated with the non-profit leaders in mind. This highly interactive 2-day masterclass includes case scenarios, in-depth discussions, reflections and design to help you explore:

  • The role of the Board and CEO is in ensuring financial sustainability  (we will have a pre-session preparation to help customise the session to your organisational realities)
  • Use of impact as a strategic asset- a strategic asset is among the most important things an organisation owns. For nonprofits -it’s the impact we deliver
  • Impact statements and participatory storytelling – creating compelling content through choosing and developing the stories’ VS ‘gathering and distributing the stories
  • The science behind the art of fundraising – behavioral economics (BE) for fundraising success with actual examples of fundraising transformations and creative activity.
  • Strategic and sustainable plan to strengthen fundraising performance- frameworks and tools that leaders must use to monitor and evaluate fundraising performance
  • The panel conversation and lunch-time networking on both days will bring in leaders from the fundraising and philanthropy eco-system to share their insights and motivations
