Fundraising for Social Change with Kim Klein

Join us for an inspiring afternoon with Kim Klein.   Kim will reawaken your sense of purpose and dispell your fundraising fears.

Individuals account for almost 85% of all money given to nonprofits from non-government sources. Clearly, building a broad base of individual donors is the best way to insure stability, allow growth, and guarantee independence. And the best way to raise money from people who give it away is to ask for it.

Yet many nonprofit staff, boards, and volunteers find the process of fundraising extremely difficult and frustrating, so what is a nonprofit to do?  Join us as Kim leads us through our fears, confronts our fundraising myths, and puts fundraising in perspective.

Kim knows that when organizations build fundraising into the rest of their work, they will experience the joy of having donors who love them, of having reliable income streams, and of being able, with the same amount of work year after year, to raise more money.
