Event Information

OVERVIEW

Many nonprofit leaders struggle with engaging their community effectively in participation projects.

This coaching cohort provides strategic insights and practical tools to enhance community engagement, ensuring your participation projects are vibrant and successful.

In this cohort you’ll learn how to develop and establish a Signature Participation Project (SPP) for your ministry.  We will use some examples for review and a model from which to practice.   By interreacting with both the example and the model, you will gain valuable experience interacting with the concepts which will enable you to incorporate an SPP into your fundraising efforts.

This coaching cohort (group learning) is packed with hands-on practice that will help you craft a usable, customized, Signature Participation Project. Gather to learn alongside other leaders in the cohort to:

• Identify simple, signature, solution(s) your organization offers in the cause.
• Clarify ways champions can participate in this/these solutions.
• DETERMINE the basic structure and DRAFT an SPP idea that can be prototyped.
• LEARN how to integrate an SPP in an overall acquisition and event strategy.

This cohort is for executive directors, development staff, board members and anyone involved in fundraising for your organization.
