About the Topic

You work in the non profit world because you believe in the vision of your organization. You give your time and energy to your cause because you see the value of it – firmly believing that change for the better can happen.

But a non profit organization without appropriate funding is nothing more than a nice idea. And in today’s recessionary economy, raising money is more challenging than ever. So how can your organization keep its current funding sources in tact, and even grow that base and increase funding? How can you keep yourself and your teams excited about raising money for your cause when there seems to be a decreasing pool of donors and dollars?

Join national fundraising expert Marc Pitman, author of Ask Without Fear: A Simple Guide to Connecting Donors with what Matters to Them Most, as he shares simple tools to help you face these fundraising challenges. His practical, straightforward, and anxiety-free approach has generated millions of dollars for worthy organizations – and yours can be next.

This event is sponsored by the Community Health Plan of Washington www.chpw.org and supported by the Northwest Developmental Officers Association (NDOA).
