Join "The Major Gift Challenge"
May 23 | 9:30 am - 4:30 pm | Toledo-Lucas County Public Library 
This Center for Nonprofit Workshop is sponsored by the AFP Northwest Ohio Chapter (AFPNWO) and the Toledo Community Foundation
AFPNWO and the Center for Nonprofit Resources are hosting The Major Gift Challenge: How to Get Started Raising Major Gifts, presented by Amy Eisenstein, ACFRE, author, speaker, and trainer.
Most nonprofit professionals are not effectively soliciting major gifts for their organizations. If you want to start or grow your individual giving/major gifts program, this session is for you. Whether a major gift for your organization is $1,000 or $10,000, you will learn how ask and receive more major gifts this year.
Amy's published books include Major Gift Fundraising for Small Shops, Raising More with Less, and 50 A$ks in 50 Weeks. Check out her blog and video posts for free fundraising tips and best practices.
Cost of the full-day workshop is $75. Click here for more info and to register.
