Are you ready to lead your major gifts program, take it to the next level, and uncover what might be holding you back? Join us on May 11th & 18th for a presentation by Jeff Schreifels, Senior Partner at Veritus Group, and Karen Kendrick, Director of Learning at Veritus Group. Over our two, two-hour sessions, Karen and Jeff will outline the major obstacles across our industry that are holding non-profits back from truly serving their donors and creating authentic, meaningful relationships, and how to make intentional changes to refocus your organization.
In Session #1, we’ll begin by discussing the state of the non-profit sector and what Veritus Group has found through analysis of millions of donor records and one-to-one work with fundraisers and leaders across the country.
In between sessions, participants will provide feedback on the topics for the final session and receive valuable materials to begin integrating what they’ve learned in the training thus far.
In Session #2, Karen and Jeff will provide direct tools, strategies, language, and resources to assist in leading and advocating for change, beginning in your own day-to-day work with donors, and taking small steps to shift your organization’s approach to donors.
Check out the session outline for more details of what to expect.
**BONUS!** Thanks to our sponsors, the $25 registration fee includes a free copy of Jeff's new book, co-authored with Richard Perry, Founding Partner of Veritus Group: "It’s Not JUST About the Donor: The Ultimate (Management) Guide to Major Gift Success” and access to both virtual sessions. To have your book before the first session, register by April 27. You will still recieve a book if you register after this date.
Registration deadline: Monday, May 10, 2021.
