The attention span of your donors is shorter than ever. They are certainly NOT thinking about year-end giving right now. But YOU must think about it to meet or exceed your fundraising goals.

Join fundraising culture change expert Lori L. Jacobwith for a fast-paced, fun webinar to jump-start your fall fundraising results. Spend 90 minutes to learn (or remind yourself and your team) about five powerful actions to take that aren't time consuming but yield HUGE results.
 

During this webinar you will:

-learn the difference between fundraising and fund development and whose job each is
-understand the power of one simple action to increase revenue up to 40%
-learn why year-end fundraising doesn't start in Q4 and what to do about it.

The session will benefit development and communication staff, executive directors, board members, and other volunteers.
