What I’ve Learned As A Fundraising Trainer

Jim Eskin, who founded Eskin Fundraising Training, LLC in 2018, is arguably the nation’s only fundraising consultant who focuses exclusively on demystifying the art and science of fundraising, and training, inspiring and equipping non-profit leaders with the comfort and confidence to overcome the fear of asking for gifts that keep far too many good causes from achieving their potential impact. Since then, he has led more than 250 fundraising workshops, webinars, webcasts, podcasts and board sessions and provided the training, coaching and support services that non-profits need to compete for and secure major gifts. He has authored more than 150 guest columns that have appeared in daily newspapers, business journals and blogs across the country, and publishes Stratagems, a monthly e-newsletter exploring timely issues and trends in philanthropy. In 2019 he authored 10 Simple Fundraising Lessons, and just recently released How To Score Your First or Next Million-Dollar Gift. In this 35- minute video, John Largent, CEO, Largent Media, who has interviewed a wide range of celebrities including Jay Leno and Sir Anthony Hopkins, explores key lessons learned over the last six years.
