Workshops and Trainings

 

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!

RaiseMN Learn-Along | How to Dazzle with a Year-End Appeal

Join us for a Learn-Along!

There’s no doubt that the year-end fundraising push is a crucial time to meet many of your organization’s fundraising goals for the year. Many organizations receive the majority of their donations during the last quarter of the year. Others make their only or primary asks during this time. 

Join Clara Lind and Courtney Backen for a session all about giving the old fundraising razzle dazzle! We’ll cover many of the potential tactics your organization may employ during year-end giving, from direct mail and email campaigns to story sharing and narrative building, stewardship and thank you notes, and celebration with your team and your donors. 

Components of this Learn-Along will include building a communications plan, identifying your audiences, and crafting a strong case for support that will help you reach your year-end goals. Courtney and Clara bring a wide variety of expertise from past campaigns at a variety of nonprofits and regularly coach organizations on their own plans and campaigns!

Time: Thursday, September 14, 2023 | 11:00a - 12:00p CDT
Format: 1 hour online Zoom webinar
Price: $45
Accessibility note: This webinar will feature Zoom’s live captioning feature.
