Wed, Feb 4 10:45 AM to 11:45 AM
Topic: Nonprofit

Many nonprofits lack a dedicated development office or a fundraising professional on staff, yet still need to continuously secure funds from a variety of sources. This session shows how organizations of any size can build donor relationships and grow support from existing and new donors without hiring fundraising staff. Participants will learn creative, low-cost strategies to engage donors, mobilize their Boards, and run successful fundraising campaigns that align with their mission and values. The emphasis is on shifting from transactional fundraising to a donor-centered approach that creates lasting partnerships with lifelong investors.

This session is part of the Jacksonville-Onslow Nonprofit Board Development Conference. This conference is open to the public, however pre-registration is required to attend due to space limitations. Registration for the event will flow through our event partner City of Jacksonville on their website.
