While the primary function of fundraising is, yes, to raise funds, an organization cannot rely on the old tried and true methods for successfully achieving fundraising goals anymore. You have to be creative. You have to think outside of the box (or bucket of ice water). You have to engage audiences across multiple generations and engage them through more than an emotional connection, as was once the case. This first-of-its-kind program from MPI-NM will broaden your understanding of what it takes to be a competitive and successful fundraiser for your organization. Learn new techniques and explore innovative ideas with your colleagues and peers from local associations, non-profits, corporations, and government agencies while hearing from industry expert, Michelle French.
