    Do your fundraising efforts benefit from deliberate practices?
    What collective habits does your team share that help to create a place where fundraising can thrive?

    Join us to learn three key practices that are particularly effective in strengthening fundraising culture and donor relations: "Two Weeks Out," "Meaningful Conversations," and "Subs in Teams.”

    Back by popular demand, Jason Lewis will introduce the principles of deliberate practice, engage in an interactive discussion about challenges in organizational learning, and conclude with an action plan for implementing these and similar tactics.

    Note, these aren’t just for the fundraising team; they work for board members, senior leaders, program staff, and volunteers. So – invite your colleagues to lunch and learn together!

    Speaker: Jason Lewis, Responsive Fundraising

    11:30 am to 12:00 pm - Check-in, networking and lunch

    In our careers and day-to-day lives, we have to make many asks so that we can deepen our relationships with our corporate and business partners, major donors, boards, volunteers and the people who are close to us. Join us to learn how to make these asks easier... or even, easy! 

    Learn what kind of ASKer you are and the “5 Laws of ASKING" that will become your personal playbook, erase the "three devils" that may be preventing you from asking, and discover how "listening with presence" will reveal that in most instances you have been INVITED to ask.

    Bring the asks you need to this interactive session and walk away with the words you can use to get YES over and over again.

    Speaker: Laura Fredericks, CEO & Founder of The Ask

Our members say:

“I’m engaging my donors as I like to be engaged: thoughtfully, respectfully, a dash of humor, and building the relationship – and the gifts are coming!”

“I am watching our board and staff move from skepticism about being able to raise money to being engaged and empowered.”

“I was able to get approval on increasing the frequency of an event from every two years to annually, and helped increase online giving by 12% through crowdfunding for a climate change research organization.”

“A fundraising audit prompted the creation of our first annual report…which led to three times the $$$ on our annual appeal. (And we won a design award for the report as well!)”
