Fundraising 101

Join veteran fundraiser Monica Cawvey Gallagher from Three Foxes Consulting to learn about how to build effective relationships that will help you raise funds for your organization. This course will help you understand the role fundraising plays in your organization, the types of donors who could give to your cause, and how to build relationships with those donors. Participants will learn about the stages of a prospect/donor relationship, why those stages are important, and how to move through them. Special attention will be given to major gifts and how to “make the ask.”

This course is good for new fundraisers, fundraisers moving from entry-level roles into roles with greater donor contact, board members, and anyone else who would like to brush up on their skills and knowledge.

This is an in-person workshop in Springfield, MO.
