Team Experiences with Jennifer
Fundraising is essential to scaling your dreams – and it doesn’t have to be a place of pain!
If this is a pivotal moment in your organization’s growth, let’s work together. We can design a customized team experience with you, your colleagues, and/or your board to dramatically increase the flow of resources to your work. In addition to developing and deepening practical skills, we’ll take an honest look at your leadership challenges and how to work with them in this time of rapid change. I promise you it will be a content-rich, interactive, and robust experience. You’ll also receive the recordings of the workshop as an “evergreen” resource for your organization, plus lots of support materials.
While we will design a program that is just right for you, here are some of the most common things I cover in my team workshops:
Everyone is a fundraiser! I work with teams and boards to discover that fundraising is not separate from the mission of the work, but integral to it. Making everyone comfortable with and excited about fundraising and learning how to populate and mobilize your partnership pipeline is essential.
Learn how to move from a painful, competitive, resource-scarce retail-based approach to a resource-rich, relational-based, social justice-aligned strategy that is infused with abundance, respect, and courage.
The all-important ask. Every member of your organization must know how to ask, what to ask for, when to ask and how often to ask. Developing your ask strategy and practicing that is critical – and, honestly, a really fun and bonding team experience.
Campaign planning and strategy: learn how to use the rhythm of time and clear structure to build momentum and fundraising progress in a very deliberate and action-oriented way.
Identify and remove obstacles that are stopping you from achieving your fundraising goals.
Understand and use the science of neuropsychology to build secure, relational commitment (no attachments!) and improve the health and well-being of every member of your community.
Discover the critical art of effective persuasion.
Design gatherings that are generative, action-oriented, and full of energy and commitment.
Learn how to honestly face personal burn-out and exhaustion and build resilience and re-commitment through daily practices that will transform your life and work.
