Cost: $25 AFP member; $40 non-member; Includes breakfastJoin AFP Berks as they invite master trainer, Chad Barger, ACFRE, ACNP, back to Reading for a half-day workshop geared towards upskilling your fundraising tactics. The workshop will cover two of Chad’s most popular topics: Finding Time for Fundraising and Cutting Through the Noise – What’s working NOW to Spur Donor Engagement.
Session 1 – Finding Time for Fundraising is fast paced and humorous ride through overcoming the obstacles that block us from raising more funds for the causes that we love. This presentation focuses not on what we do, but how we do it. In order to “find more time for fundraising” we’ll explore ways to better manage email, meetings, our energy level, distractions, self care, to do lists and work life balance (but we prefer the phrase “work life harmony”). Attendees will leave the session with practical tips that they can immediately implement to make their days more productive while still leaving room to breathe.
Session 2 - Cutting Through the Noise - What’s Working NOW to Spur Donor Engagement focuses on proven ways to capture donor attention. We’ll look at the challenge of cutting through the noise in today’s daily communication onslaught and the importance of donor retention. Attendees will learn simple, actionable steps that they can take to boost donor engagement at their organization. Examples will be shared of creative ways that real life nonprofit organizations identified, cultivated, solicited and stewarded their donors in creative ways (including some that had no budget for doing so).
Chad Barger helps nonprofit professionals fundraise more efficiently and effectively. He is a top-rated speaker, master trainer and coach. Chad owns the firm Productive Fundraising which specializes in teaching the latest research-based fundraising tactics and making them approachable for small to mid-sized nonprofit organizations. Chad earned his ACFRE (Advanced Certified Fund Raising Executive) credential in 2024 and is proud to be only the 117th person in the world to hold that (VERY) hard to achieve credential. He earned his Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) credential in 2007. Chad is also an Advanced Certified Nonprofit Professional (ACNP), and therefore also a CNP (Certified Nonprofit Professional).
Breakfast and networking begins at 8 a.m.; Session begins at 9 a.m. – 12 p.m.
