Fundraising Volunteers
Led by Linda Lysakowski, ACFRE

Are your fundraising volunteers being put to effective and efficient use? Do they contribute to all aspects of your development program?

Learn to implement the various roles volunteers can play that will increase the results of your fundraising efforts.

Fundraising volunteers can do more than answer the phone, stuff envelopes, and help deliver services.

A well-trained efficient cadre of volunteers is the envy of every nonprofit that doesn't have that asset.

This seminar will discuss: where to find fundraising volunteers, how to recruit them and how to keep them involved and energized by offering them orientation, support, education and recognition.
