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, donor acquisition in February, stewardship in June, and year-end appeals in September. Recordings of all four events are available for purchase below.

Details on our 2025 Learn-Along series are coming soon!

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!

[CANCELED] Exploring Donor Meetings

  • The Good Acre 1790 Larpenteur Avenue West Falcon Heights, MN, 55113 United States (map)

Updated May 14, 2020

GiveMN has made the decision to cancel all RaiseMN in-person group workshops for the remainder of 2020. The majority of these workshops were scheduled to take place in the first half of the year, and there is still uncertainty over when guidance will suggest a group of our workshop size (50-75) may convene, and whether or not holding this type of group gathering is in the best interest of our partners in the foreseeable future.

If you purchased a Class Pass or single tickets to any of our workshops, you will receive an email from the RaiseMN team with more information about our decisions and refunds. We were very much looking forward to meeting with hundreds of you in person through this year’s workshop series, and we’re working hard to build out virtual programming and opportunities for the remainder of the year.

Description:

Getting to know your donors on an individual level and communicating with them about your work is 90% of good fundraising. But how do you get to know your donors? What do they care about? Why don’t they respond to your event invitations? Why did they increase (or decrease) their gift this year?

We recommend considering one-on-one meetings. Donor meetings are an essential tool that should be in every fundraiser’s toolbox. In this session we’ll be breaking down 1:1 meetings piece by piece. What’s the point of meeting with a donor? What are you trying to learn? What are areas opportunity to share, and what problematic donor behaviors could arise?

This session will be heavy on roleplay scenarios, giving participants a chance to practice in a super supportive and encouraging environment.

Cost:
$60 + processing totaling $64.14
Eligible for RaiseMN Class Pass

Who should attend?
This session is best for nonprofit fundraising staff. Board members, volunteers, and executive directors are welcome, but this session assumes that participants have a fairly good base of individual giving knowledge.

Trainers:
Unny Nambudiripad | Fundraising Strategist, GiveMN
