TREC Webinar Series | Focus on Fundraising
Tuesdays in October | 11:00 AM-12:00 PM Mountain Time
Fundraising presents new opportunities to innovate and adapt due to the current economy, political challenges, COVID-19, the 2020 U.S. presidential election, and borders that are still closed. Many folks have experienced fundraising wins in these recent months, but how will your organization need to prepare for what comes next?
The Focus on Fundraising Webinar Series is a four-part intensive series for development staff and fundraisers covering essential skills and competencies your fund development program will need to succeed in 2020 and beyond. Each webinar in the series will stand alone and you can sign up for them individually or for the entire series.
OCTOBER 6th | Writing Effective Appeals – Watch recording
Presenter: Katie Davis, TREC
Is it too early to be thinking about year-end fundraising? Not at all. Given the incredible challenges nonprofits have experienced this year, laying the groundwork now for your End of the Year (EOY) fundraising appeal is critical to its success. What makes an incredible year-end appeal? How do you get people to open your letter or email appeal, and more importantly, to give a gift? What can you do once your appeal has been sent? Join TREC as we discuss easy ways to boost the success of your year-end appeals using mail and email platforms.
OCTOBER 13 | Optimizing Your Health and Resilience as a Fundraiser – Watch recording
Presenters: Katie Davis and Cyndi Harris, TREC
With so much happening on so many fronts so quickly, the challenges to fundraising are even greater. You are scrambling, adjusting, adapting, learning, leveraging skills, and doing your best to keep engaged. This is no small feat! Doing this while you are also navigating your own world and challenges. Balancing your staff’s needs, your leadership, and your supporters can leave very little time and attention to support yourself in sustaining resilience and well-being. In this session, we will explore:
- What resilience is
- The importance of understanding stress and activation, and modulating it
- How to interact with others in a way that fosters well-being
- Identify ways to support your resilience
