"If you have a vision, but need the tools to get there, Capital Development Services' fundraising workshop will be one of the most valuable things you will ever do! It's worth clearing your calendar for!"
Rob Murphy, Assistant Headmaster for Advancement: Blue Ridge School
“The workshop I attended in Hilton Head was remarkable. It gave me new insight on organizing a campaign. I almost did not attend the workshop, because like many other professionals, my calendar is jammed with appointments and meetings; however, I am so glad I cleared my schedule for this workshop. It was well worth it."
Ericka Jones, Director of Foundation and Public Information: Robeson Community College Foundation
Fundraising Workshops
From neophytes to fundraising veterans, everyone can benefit from new insights gained in continued education. Whether at a CapDev sponsored workshop or by attending a conference where we are presenting, participants gain a deepened knowledge, a fresh perspective and the motivation to inspire your work.
Conference Sessions
Frequently requested for our dynamic speakers and on-point topics, CapDev presents at numerous local, regional and national conferences throughout each year. Participants consistently rank us among their top-rated speakers in conference evaluations, and appreciate the valuable take-away advice and materials to put to work advancing their organizations' efforts.
Find us at conferences; invite us to conduct a session just for your organization; or join us for one of our own unique workshops and learn about:
- Essential Component for Successful Fundraising – Back to the basics with elements fundraisers at any level can apply
- Building a Culture of Philanthropy by Engaging Leadership - Distinguish "philanthropy" from "fundraising" and build up board support
- Giving and Getting – Exploring current giving trends and learn how to get your piece of the philanthropic pie
- Avoiding the Top 10 Mistakes in Capital Campaigns – Step-by-step instruction to plan a successful campaign
- The Art of the Ask – The "ask" is more about planning than asking, so learn how to ask so that you get a "yes"
- Effective Prospect Research – Learn to conduct good research, a must to identify and cultivate your next leaders and donors
- Hiring, Attracting and Retaining Development Professionals – The acronym spells HARD, but we break down the executive search job and makes it EASY
Each of these workshops can be presented in 60 to 90-minute sessions or combined to create effective half or full-day sessions. Click here for more information.
CapDev Workshops
Knowledge is power, so everyone benefits from good training. Board members and nonprofit staff have praised the insights gained from CapDev-led seminars throughout the Southeast. Capital Development Services' team delivers interesting presentations on topics relevant to your work in an interactive format to keep you informed and motivated.
The next workshop is geared toward campaign planning training, and will be held on April 18th at the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro. Details and registration will be available in early Spring 2012.
