Webinar: “Strengthening Foundation Relationships”
Free for Members!
$25 for Non-Members.
Despite significant increases in foundation giving in recent years, too many charitable organizations tend to look at foundation fundraising in a less than strategic manner. For some, the approach to foundations is detached and formulaic. In Strengthening Foundation Relationships, John Greenhoe, CFRE, provides an overview of proven strategic methods for building relationships with foundations of varying types and sizes. Drawing upon his unique background as a former journalist, public relations director and constituent major gift officer, John will lead a thought-provoking session that will provide specific strategies for building lasting and fulfilling foundation partnerships.
Learning objectives:
Understand the value of building relationships with a select number of funders – rather than employing the “shotgun” approach;
Learn methods for making the initial approach to a funder, and following up in distinctive and memorable ways; and
Understand strategies for cultivating different types of foundations
Target audience:
This presentation geared primarily toward entry and mid level practitioners looking to hone their skills in building foundation relationships. Advanced level practitioners would also receive some benefit.
