Part of the Non-Profit Management Series series

Overview:

Wednesday, June 25, 2008            1:00 - 4:30

Raising money is critical to the health of your non-profit organization, but asking people for money can be the most difficult task you face. It doesn't have to be. Asking for money is a skill that can be learned, practiced, and mastered. In this session, Scott Braucht, President and Founder of Scott Braucht & Associates, will reveal the tools and techniques you need to be confident and comfortable during the ask. You'll learn how to do it right - before, during, and after the ask. And you'll leave this session empowered to go out and ask, again and again.
