Briefings for Board & Staff

Educational Briefings for Board and Staff – Critical Topics

Board members typically cannot give a lot of time to training. However, for your organization to achieve its potential, board members need to build nearly as much comfort with identifying potential donors, cultivating them, asking for the gift, and stewarding the gift as the staff has built. By learning the same approaches, Board and Staff will be in sync and better able to work together in supporting the organization.

Topics offered that may be of great interest to your organization:

  • Making the Case for Support (Not Just an Elevator Speech)

  • Asking for the Major Gift

  • The Donor Meeting – Get the Meeting and Make It Successful

  • Identifying Likely Major Donors and Legacy Donors

  • Building a Legacy Giving Program:  The Donor Engagement Model

  • Understanding the Ways Donors Can Give

Other topics may be developed at the request of the client organization.
