Led by Dr. Robert B. Sharp, Founder, & Linda Garrison,
Vice President, RBSCo, Denver, CO.
In January 2007 Bob Sharp predicted (right here on an
Affinity Seminar)
that a global economic meltdown would occur in late 2007 or early
2008.
He spoke about the potential impact to non-profits and philanthropy
and where to invest fundraising resources in the face of change.
Two years later, fundraisers who thought Bob
was too pessimistic
are asking for advice.
Learn how to best weather this storm.
A shift, has transformed the classic
rules of fundraising dramatically. It has occured among
high net worth individuals -- and it is quite separate from
the economic meltdown. Many of these folks made big
money from hedge funds, derivatives and the like. Some of them
have lost their collective shirt. But others are still doing very,
very well.
You'll learn:
- Who's giving, and who's not.
- How to break through the “psychology of scarcity” that impacts your entire donor pool.
- How to keep up fund raising momentum, whether for your annual fund or a major gifts campaign.
- And you’ll discover that certain demographics are actually prospering despite the economy.
Who Should Attend: Development directors, capital
campaign directors, major gift officers, campaign cabinet members,
major gift chairs, anyone contemplating a capital campaign, seeking
major gifts or just trying to weather the storm.
You get:
- A new understanding of where – and how – to focus
in both major gift and annual fundraising.
- How to identify the wealthiest of the wealthy within your constituency.
- A new understanding of how to be even more successful with
major donors.
