Interested in Learning?
RCVO is proud to present another Fund Raising Success Workshop
Where to Start and How to Build It!
With Speaker Tim Haak
This series of four sessions is offered via videoconference at the following sites:
Jasper and Red Deer (through iCCAN)
Achieving success takes resources!
How to inspire others to provide them?
If you are:
· raising funds in a small organization
· starting a new fund development program
· just learning the ropes in fund development
then this primer is a must for you.
This primer will help you understand how to ensure that your organization is ready to raise funds, select the right prospects (those you hope will give) and the right method(s) for raising those funds. There will be a strong focus on the basics - the steps to building a fund development program that will allow your organization to successfully address its mission.
Most of all, you will come to appreciate that fund raising is not just about raising money. It is about inviting others to join you in support of making your community better by adding their time, talent and money to the effort and making a difference in the lives of others.
Four 1.5 hour Friday sessions:
August 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th
12:00 pm-1:30 pm each day
Registration Fee: $60 (for all four sessions)
Registration is available online. Go to www.rcvo.org and click on Events.
Select your site and register.
