You have been elected to serve on the board of an organization you care about deeply.  Congratulations!  Now What?  What does it really take to advance a mission? Does it imply fundraising? What does that mean? Do you really have to ask friends for money? Yikes!

Whether you are just beginning to think about the relationship between your organization’s future and raising funds or if you are in need of a fresh look at the fundraising landscape as a volunteer leader, you will find this workshop beneficial.

Join us to:

--Identify both the mind-sets and skill-sets that can improve your relationship to fundraising

--Develop simple tactics to build your fundraising skills

--Tackle barriers to fundraising for greater success
