The philanthropic environment has always been fiercely competitive. Donors are faced with choosing not between the good and the bad, but between the good and the good. Now COVID-19 has intensified everything. Fundraising responsibilities can no longer be delegated only to staff members and supported by a few brave board members. Non-profits don’t have a staff position, board member or other stakeholder to waste. But men and women who are passionate about their favorite non-profits and causes can be trained to be effective fundraisers. Even in a volatile economy, more than $1 billion a day will be donated to non-profits that are committed to telling their stories, building relationships, and asking for the support they need and deserve. So, you don’t want to miss out on vital funding opportunities.
PHILANTHROPY - ADVOCACY - INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES
ACHIEVING GROWTH
Most people are afraid of asking for gifts, even for organizations they care deeply about. Fear of the unknown holds them back, and that’s perfectly normal. Eskin Fundraising Training, LLC demystifies the art and science of fundraising and empowers professional and volunteer non-profit advocates to play productive roles in the discovery, cultivation, solicitation and stewardship of donor prospects. Our training helps organizations develop resources to more robustly champion their missions.
SERVICES
Our training style celebrates the wisdom of Confucius, who long ago declared, “Tell me and I’ll forget, teach me and I may remember, but involve me and I will learn.” We teach participants to use these common sense lessons as building blocks for resource development: identifying prospects, practicing elevator speeches, and most essentially, role-playing solicitations. Preparation and practice culminate in success.
