Our webinars will provide you and your team the support, theory, and practical tools you need to excel, especially in uncertain times.
About this Event

Discussion of how to invite a gift is one of the most common in fundraising trainings. But less common is conversation around expanding our definition of capacity and then providing tools to support meaningful dialogue that supports a long term relationship while also moving donors to greater investments in our organization. This popular webinar is back to do just that: strategies to uncover donor propensity as well as suggested language to build towards a significant ask/invitation in a more authentic and conversational way. And, we’ll share tips to build our confidence in inspiring our donors’ greatest generosity – because confidence in our work and the invitations we extend is essential for success. Every attendee will be provided a take-away exercise that supports our discussion, and this exercise lends itself well for providing the basis of a team discussion as well.

You may register as many members of your team as you like for one cost (instructions for how to invite team members will be included automatically at the bottom of your AnyMeeting webinar confirmation email).
