What People Say About This Workshop
The most useful part was seeing the bigger picture - that there's more to fundraising than 'the ask.'
We are so grateful to have all of this information and these templates! -- exactly what we needed to get things going!!!
As an individual who is new to the development world, I have gone to a lot of trainings, listened to a million podcasts, and read a ton of articles, and I honestly think your trainings have been the best I have been to thus far. So keep up the good work!
I have a better understanding of what's most effective, so we can prioritize our future fundraising activities.
