    Bridge Toolbox Series: Effective Fundraising Webinar

    Thurs. December 5th, 7:00 - 8:00pm ET on ZOOM


    Successful nonprofits can state their mission in one simple and compelling sentence. Successful nonprofits make fundraising a core function. And at its core fundraising is about engaging with potential donors. This engagement could be strengthening pre-existing engagement (such as with college alumnae and alumni) or it could be creating new engagement (like that for a new non-profit).

    Join classmates and fundraising experts Ken Bartels  and Nick Sakellariadis as they focus on these engagement tools to show how to successfully fundraise for your organization.
