Foundation Center sponsors individual giving seminars

Fundraiser and author Andy Robinson will present a nonprofit technical assistance workshop focused on individual giving on Tuesday, April 20th at 9am at the Montgomery Auditorium at the Parkway Central Library, 1901 Vine Street in Philadelphia.

Robinson says that most organizations work heroically to get their board members engaged in face to face fundraising with very mixed results.  He says that many groups tend to forget about the other ‘human resource’ available to them: their staff.

Using successful case studies, Andy will discuss ways to engage employees in cultivating, asking and thanking donors.

Fernando Chang-Muy, Esq., former Program Officer at the Philadelphia Foundation and a University of Pennsylvania Law Professor, will present a second workshop on Securing Gifts from Individuals beginning at about 11am.

This workshop will first provide a quick overview for a framework for organizational effectiveness and best practices.  Against this backdrop of four core nonprofit areas, Chang-Muy will discuss how resource development is an aspect of effectiveness and also a way of raising money.  He will then hone in on one source of revenue–getting funds, including major gifts, from individuals.

The workshops are free, but registration is required by clicking here.
