You need donors and don’t have any idea where to start. So, what to do? Don’t panic. This session will help you craft a donor-centered journey that predisposes prospects to want to give to you and keep giving as opposed to a one-time or a token gift. This session includes action steps, templates, samples, and instructions on how to engage your board in this process.  If done right, each board member will identify 20 plus prospective donors.
