Anthony A. Dicks, Jr. | 180 Management Group
A leader or organization’s most powerful asset is not their vision, it’s their voice. Voices can create, stimulate, and inaugurate change. Nonprofit’s can change the world with "just" voices. Not in the sense of using voices alone, but in the sense of using voices that are just! In this session attendees will discover a framework for employing their leadership or organization’s voice to be a catalyst for change.
Beth Saunders | Beth Saunders Associates
If you’re looking for a new way to drive impact and fundraising success by leveraging your own expertise and experience, this is for you. In this session we’ll learn about the vision map, a framework that helps you center donor conversations and funding applications on the outcomes of your mission work, not just the actual work. When you get specific about what you intend to achieve – the change you are creating in the world – it becomes much easier to cultivate support. Join us and start creating your own vision map because your funders share your vision and the map shows the milestones they can help you achieve along the way. Let’s focus on outcomes and propel your impact!

What happens when a donor doesn’t respond to your meeting request? Whether your request is to take them to coffee, to offer a tour, or to request a gift — donor silence can be disheartening, but it's not the end of the road or the relationship. Join us for a workshop designed to equip fundraising professionals with strategies to navigate and engage with unresponsive donors effectively. We'll explore respectful and tactful ways to inquire again when initial meeting requests go unanswered, and effective ways to move forward with your individual fundraising program.
