Asking for Money: Five Easy Steps for Getting Past Psychological Barriers |
| In this webinar, we will explore the money taboo, and discuss how our feelings and thoughts about money are learned and can be re-learned. Kim will discuss the five steps to getting over your anxiety about asking (or at least getting over it enough to do some asking.) |
Boards and Fundraising |
| Involvement of the board of directors in fundraising is key to success, yet many groups experience their board as a major impediment to their fundraising success. Is there hope for your board? In this workshop, you will learn that the answer is YES (probably.) There are ways to organize board involvement for effective fundraising. Come learn how. Bring board members. |
Getting the Most out of Year End Fundraising |
| Do you worry that the end of the year is approaching faster than reaching your fundraising goals? Do you want to get a head start on the new year? Or, do you just wonder what people mean when they say, “We had a great year end?” Kim Klein will help you with all these questions and more in this specific, hands-on webinar discussing how to get maximum mileage out of the last two months of the year. |
On Being a Consultant |
| In this webinar, Kim shares secrets of her success as a consultant. Learn from what she does well, and mistakes that she made. Consulting is a wonderful way to make a living, and does not have to be so fraught with feast or famine. Kim discusses how to market yourself, how to set fair fees (to you and the clients), how much to do for free, and when to say no. |
Fundraising in Rural Communities |
| In this webinar, Kim will look at the challenges and opportunities that are present in small towns and rural communities. She will talk about the many different kinds of rural communities and how they can raise money from people both inside and outside their geographic area. This webinar will have a number of interesting case studies. |
How Small Groups Can Raise Big Money |
| Have you ever thought, “If only we had our own building? Or, “If only we could create a reserve fund to get us through our lean times? Or “If only we had the money to build a health clinic or theater or new school?” You will be surprised at how much money you can raise, using the skills you already have, without a lot of front money. This workshop is for organizations with budgets under $750,000. Learn how a grassroots agency with a budget of $300,000 raised $1,000,000 for a building, or how an environmental group with a budget of $600,000 formed a coalition to raise $15 million to save a forest. You will learn how to plan and implement a capital campaign that works for your small organization. You will understand capital campaign concepts like feasibility studies, lead gifts, naming opportunities and how or whether they apply to your situation. You will know how to proceed and what to watch out for and how to recruit a fundraising team to help you. |
How to Raise $50K in 6 Weeks |
| In this fast paced webinar, Kim Klein details one of the most important ideas in fundraising today: bringing volunteers together for a short specific intensive campaign, and then letting them go for the rest of the year. In this webinar you will learn both the specifics of raising a large amount of money in a short time and the process of designing all of your fundraising in short bursts. |
How to Work with Boards (Even Though Boards Don’t Work) |
| The most common complaint in all nonprofits is "Our board doesn't do fundraising." Each organization thinks that if they only did something differently, or recruited different people, the board would start doing fundraising. After 25 years of hearing this complaint over and over, Kim Klein thinks that the way boards are designed and structured is the source of this problem. However, there are a few ways to get the board on board. In this webinar, Kim will briefly discuss the problems inherent in the structure of boards, then offer several ideas for making your board do more fundraising and be more effective. These are not "Ten easy solutions." Getting a board on board takes work, but it is worth it. All are welcome to this webinar, but it is designed particularly for development staff. |
