So, What's This New Fangled Event All About?
Fundraising is Hard...
Finding trainings that are applicable in the real world and figuring out how to use them without unlimited staff and budget is even harder. So we set out to create a fundraising conference that empowers those of us who fight “other duties as assigned” in order to do the one thing we love: telling stories and building relationships with donors.
One Day. One Unique Conference. One killer way to change your mindset to an “Oh hell yea I can do this!” attitude.
Oh, did we mention that you have the opportunity to learn first hand from some of the regions most generous and philanthropic individuals on why they give, what turns them off when being solicited and what you can do as an organization to make a great impression?
How would you like to ask those same individuals to listen to your elevator pitch, give real-time feedback and have a chance to win $5,000 worth of donations to your charity?
Shark Tank Style.
Yup. That’s happening too.
Welcome to the Do Gooders Conference. A fundraising training with practical advice, tips and tricks you can use the very next day to make organizations become philanthropically awesome.
Tickets are limited, so get yours today!
