Nonprofits LEAD: Growing Donors

Are you new to donor-based fundraising or looking for a refresher course on asking donors for funding? Growing Donors will look at the basics of fundraising from identifying prospects to first time gift and from first time gift to committed donor. Like a garden, fundraising requires commitment, cultivation and harvesting, and in this course we will identify what you need to get started, how to prepare a donor for the ask, thanking the donor for their gift and maintaining the donor for future asks.
