"How Good Nonprofit Officers Become Great Fundraisers"
  Implementing the 7 Powerful Strategies to Ignite a Fundraising Fire

Sometimes it can be hard for you as the Development/Fundraising Officer to establish and then implement a successful fundraising plan.  This isn't about writing grants or organizing events, you already do those well, but Bill's training offers a step-by-step evaluation of your current prospecting processes and then the opportunity to complete a daily structure that connects you to the people, corporate partners, and power partners, who can provide the most value (investment) to the organization.

Attend a Nonprofit Leadership Roundtable to see how Bill's system works & review the 1 year program with 12 modules


 

In these workshops, Bill Young draws from his own experience as entrepreneur, nonprofit leader, and sales professional.   He provides a tailored program of step by step process, real world case studies, and "ah ha" moments.   His book, How Good Nonprofit Officers Become Great Fundraisers, presents a proven system for Development and Executive Directors to transform good officers into great fundraisers.   You'll discover that understanding the targeted profile, recognizing personal strengths, following a prospecting system and engaging new opportunities in a professional consultative process reaps rewards (increased funds).  Are you concerned that you're not utilizing the phone, e-mail, or social media tools properly?  Attend the 15 minute Webinar Briefing or in person Nonprofit Leader Roundtable (see schedule below) to make sure Bill's training is a fit for you.
