Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and it’s a prime opportunity to share the love with the donors who make your work possible, grow relationships, and – coincidentally – raise money! 12 Ways to #LoveYourDonor on Valentine’s Day (and throughout the year)

Learning Opportunities

Has a board member ever asked you to recruit Will Smith as a celebrity endorser (yes, I’ve been there)? Or maybe you’ve got a board that doesn’t know anything about fundraising…but they want to tell YOU what you need to do to fundraise. Maybe they don’t follow through. They say they’ll do something but then they don’t do it. Imagine what it would look like, instead, to have a passionate board. A board eager to be your organization’s best ambassadors –and fundraisers. If this is your vision, plan to join us for my latest Basics & More™class, Empowering Your Fundraising Board.

Whether you’re an organization in the early stages of building your board, or you’re mired in dysfunction that’s been festering for years (we’ve all been there!), there’s hope! In Empowering Your Fundraising Board, you’ll get the exercises and tools you need for building your organization’s successful fundraising board. Plus, you’ll have your team members working and learning alongside you. Last day to register.

How are you transforming first time donors into raving fans? Join yours truly for our next Motivate Monday, where I’ll guide you through creating your new donor system. Includes a new free tool. Save your seat here.
