Session Information
The biggest challenge to any campaign is making the calls. When staff and volunteers are armed with a powerful case and understand their role in the fundraising process it goes a long way to overcoming that natural resistance to asking friends and colleagues for money.
This presentation will explore the key principles and essential steps for successful solicitation including the fundraising professional’s role as a cultivator and solicitor for their organization.
