Sample Talks

Strategic Planning for Development Programs

This session will take a step-by-step approach through a strategic planning model specifically designed for fundraising. You will come away with the tools that you need to plan strategically using a model designed by fundraisers for fundraisers, from reviewing your existing fundraising programs, identifying your donor universe, and scanning the external environment to strategies, budgets, and staff work plans.

Getting Face-to-Face with your Annual Fund Donors

In this workshop, Guy will outline how some simple interpersonal communication techniques can build deeper relationships with Annual Program donors. In addition, he will help your audience understand the linkage between Annual Program donor relationships and potential future Major Gift conversations, and put forth keys to successful annual giving initiatives.
