‘Securing Major Donors’ - an intensive two-day workshop on how to identify and secure wealthy individuals as major donors to your organisation.
Southwark Cathedral, London Bridge, London, SE1 9DA:
16th - 17th February and 9th - 10th March, 10 am to 4 pm
This two-day training programme is designed to help organisations build the in-house capacity to run major donor campaigns and has already run eight times this year. The workshop has been enthusiastically received (see participants' comments below) so we are offering courses on 30th June – 1st July. The course is limited to 20 places to allow participants to practise their skills and receive feedback. It is led by Virginia Fisher, Senior Consultant at Action Planning, who has helped a wide range of third sector organisations successfully to develop major donor fundraising programmes. The training provides:
