Upcoming Activities
February Fundraising Peer Learning Network-Money Mindset: The Internal Process of the Ask

When: February 24, 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM

In this session, you’ll quickly discover that you are not alone in your trepidations concerning the fundraising ask. From flop sweat to the fast-talking babble of nerves, everyone experiences a range of emotions before, during, and after making a donor ask. You will also learn how to master your nervousness, tighten up your pitch and maybe not exactly enjoy the process of asking, but how to make these situations more personally manageable and successful.

ELP has two main goals:

  • Apply these skills to the major nonprofit responsibilities and functions

The program is designed to guide participants through a logical and expert learning path. At the end of each day, we share implementable tools and practical skills to apply immediately. Participants develop executive skills and a much deeper understanding of their executive responsibilities.
