Presented by Richard Peck, VP of Development and Philanthropy Services, New Hampshire Charitable Foundation
Session Description:
This session will give you tips on working with funders and potential funders.
Topics include starting new relationships (with individuals, businesses, and foundations), continued engagement & gratitude, and appropriate ways to reach out to engage (i.e. when a 1:1 is important vs. a chat on the phone vs. sending physical mail).
Also covered will be how/when to ask for more support (i.e. what factors might justify that), what high-capacity and strategic donors are looking for, and reasons donors are motivated to contribute large sums of money (as well as a nod to “test gifts”).
Session Goals:
By the end of this session, participants will have learned how to:
- identify what effective engagement looks like with funders and potential funders
- build and maintain mutually beneficial quality relationships
- immediately use new ideas and tactics for short- and long-term results
