Join us for this workshop and learn the critical questions every organization must answer in order to conduct a successful end-of-year annual appeal. Participants will learn explore planning strategies to define:
-
The ideal donors to whom the appeal will be sent
-
What information and materials to include in your appeal
-
The ideal timing when the appeal should be sent and where (email or regular mail?)
-
How much to budget to cover the costs of the appeal and to ensure a profitable effort
BONUS!: Participants in this workshop will be able to schedule a private one-hour consultation with the instructor, Yvon Gresser, to review and finalize all annual appeal materials (letter, budget, envelope, mailing list) at a reduced rate of $50 (normally, $75/hour). All consultations will be held at the Spokes Hub on Friday, October 13.
