If your organization’s idea of fundraising is organizing a gala or selling raffle tickets, this half-day workshop will open your eyes to what fundraising really is and how it can help you be sustainable. You will also hear about creating a culture of engagement and philanthropy in your organizations, and how everyone, from program staff, to board members and volunteers, can be part of this culture.
