Presenting our 2024 Learn-Along Calendar!

RaiseMN is excited to share our virtual four-session 2024 Learn-Along calendar, built with the annual donor cycle in mind. We started in January with a session on annual fundraising planning and donor acquisition in February. Recordings of both events are available for purchase below.

Next up in June we will talk about summer stewardship, and end the series in September with a webinar all about year-end campaigns. Live Learn-Alongs are priced at $45 each and are listed below.

Register today for both of the final two sessions and receive $15 off, or register for them individually below.

Previously recorded sessions are available:

In addition to any public workshop events, we encourage you to learn more about our fundraising coaching products and consider speaking with one of our team members to determine if our work together could be beneficial for your organization!

The Art of Live Asks

  • GiveMN Training Room 43 Southeast Main Street Minneapolis, MN 55414 United States (map)

Live training at GiveMN’s training room in Northeast Minneapolis
Cost: $60 + processing

During this session, you’ll have the chance to dive into the art of live asks in advance of spring gala season. “Live asks” are any fundraising ask given in front of a group, like at a house party, a gala, a performance, or a community meeting.

We’ll unpack examples of great (and terrible) asks, break those down, and help you build an ask based on your organization’s work and audience. You’ll also get the chance to give your ask and receive feedback in a super supportive and encouraging environment.

Who’s this for? This 3-hour session is great for development staffers and executive directors, but it’s also great for volunteers and board members who’ve been entrusted with doing the live ask at an upcoming fundraising event.
