Event Information

Inviting a champion to give financially requires a spiritual partnership and strategic approach that keeps your champion development plan in the forefront. This workshop equips nonprofit leaders with a framework to formulate and communicate financial invitations with confidence and conviction.

Using the context of Major Gifts, leaders will learn the components of financial invitations and ways of adapting them into various development contexts.  Through hands-on work and interactive exercises, leaders will increase skills and gain inspiration for developing trust and deepening engagement with givers.  

This workshop is designed for nonprofit executive leaders, development staff, and anyone in your organization who desires to expand their effectiveness in connecting champions to the cause and extending courageous, faith-filled invitations to generosity.
