WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
So many nonprofit leaders are new to fundraising and nervous about making face-to-face asks, but those conversations are where the major gifts happen. This session will help attendees question their assumptions about whether asking is "rude" and how to get comfortable bringing the needs of their organizations forward for donor support. With practical tips and specific scripts for attendees to practice, they will leave this session with more clarity around fundraising person-to-person.
