Securing Major Donors

I had this information sent through to me that may be of interest. I have been to one of Action Planning's days and it was really useful well presented raining.

Invitation to 'Securing Major Donors' - a practical two-day course on major donor fundraising
29-30 March or 13-14 April, both at Hamilton House, London

We would be delighted to welcome you or a colleague to our two-day workshop on 'Securing Major Donors'. This intensive and practical training programme has already helped over 400 charities to build the in-house capacity to engage in major donor fundraising, a fast growing source of charity income which can help you diversify away from reliance on statutory funding.

The course runs every month and has been enthusiastically received (see participants' comments below). It is limited to 20 places to allow participants to practise their skills and is led by Virginia Fisher, Senior Consultant at Action Planning, who has helped a wide range of third sector organisations successfully to develop major donor fundraising programmes. The training provides:

Day 1

* guidance on how to identify and profile potential major donors amongst your supporters, and secure new names of rich people potentially sympathetic to your cause
* group exercises on how to analyse major donor motivations and plan an effective approach
* advice on how to attract the attention of major donors and prepare your organisation for effective major donor fundraising

Day 2

* extensive training and practice on making an effective ask, with constructive feedback from the trainer and the group
* a briefing on the leading UK philanthropists
* advice on how to sustain major donor relationships and build their emotional and financial support to the organisation
* interactive group work and practice on donor care techniques
