Most of us are afraid to ask for money, even when it is for the most vital and important things to make the planet a better place. Money is just energy, after all. This course focuses on giving you the skills to manifest the resources you need to support your non-profit mission. With strategic thinking, actual tools to get organized, and an understanding of how fundraising works, you can become a more effective fundraiser.
Join Robin for a 6 week seminar focused on the essentials of fundraising. The course will cover the following key topics:
- Overcoming our fears and negative conditioning around asking for money
- The art of asking for money through role playing
- Executing successful virtual fundraising events
- Board recruitment, governance, and stewardship
- The importance of communications and design to executive effective fundraising
- The state of philanthropy today and its impact on social justice
No prior experience with fundraising required. Classes will meet weekly on Zoom. Classes will be recorded and archived for access at any time. Selected reading materials will be provided.
