Topics include:
Asking Your Own Way: An Approach that Works
Everything You Need to Know About Capital Campaigns
Just Ask! An Intensive Solicitation Workshop
Get Curious! The Art of Asking Questions for Fundraising
"It’s amazing to me that someone can come in for a few hours and fundamentally change the way you approach your work. Andrea’s session was simple –but provocative –and we have already implemented some of the actionable insights she had. One of my team members applied what she had learned on a site visit with a prospective donor the very next day! It’s rare to have such an immediate and measurable return on a two-hour investment. Thank you." Andrea!
Brigid Ganley, Director of Development, Director of Development, Uncommon Schools, New York
