Ventureneer Webinar Shows How to Jumpstart Your Development Shop in Any Economy
Ventureneer's webinar shows small nonprofit development staff how to "make the ask" to ensure a steady, more diverse funding stream.
NEW YORK, NY, October 19, 2011 /Nonprofit PR News/ -- 50 Asks in 50 Weeks: How to Jumpstart Your Development Shop in Any Economy is a free "back to basics" online course for executive directors and development directors who want to raise more money for their nonprofit organizations. Presented by Ventureneer, it specifically targets organizations with small development offices and provides clear steps on how to create a simple plan for raising more money.
"Development staff in small nonprofits can be overwhelmed by busy work. This class will help them re-focus on making the ask and increasing revenue," said Geri Stengel, founder of Ventureneer.
Most development directors are so busy doing day-to-day tasks of fundraising -- writing thank-you notes, grant reports and newsletters; managing databases; creating budgets -- that they don't have time for or forget the most important thing: asking!
The free webinar, which takes place Tuesday, October 25, 2011, 2 pm - 3pm ET, will be presented by Amy Eisenstein, principal and owner of Tri Point Fundraising, a full-service consulting firm for nonprofit organizations and foundations. For more than 10 years, Amy worked in the nonprofit sector as director of development in large and small nonprofit organizations.
Her new book, 50 Asks in 50 Weeks: A Guide to Better Fundraising for Your Small Development Shop, helps nonprofits identify new prospects and systematize their asking, so they raise more money.
This session will help participants create:
a development plan that ensures a diverse funding stream
a system for asking for gifts in smarter, more efficient ways
a system to ensure asking for gifts all year long
Brief discussions on event planning, grant writing, individual solicitations, and direct mail are included. This session is based on Eisenstein's new book: 50 A$ks in 50 Weeks: A Guide to Better Fundraising for Your Small Development Shop.
