Description
Workshop Overview:
"From Transactional to Transformational: Relationship-Focused Fundraising"
Fundraising is often referred to as the “necessary evil” of the nonprofit world: money is an essential element to fulfilling the mission, but the struggle to access critical dollars is real. What if we flip that narrative and approach fundraising as a chance to magnify our nonprofit’s potential? What if, through our donors, funders, and partners, we can create momentum that both serves our mission and helps create deeper connections at a time when loneliness and isolation are at an all-time high? When we move away from transactional fundraising and set our sights on true relationship building, the results can be transformational.
GVC will be joined by Megan Dixon, Director of Community Investments & Relationship at Johnson Bixby & Vice Chair of Ripple Impact NW
