This interactive training on annual appeals will help nonprofit professionals turn fundraising into storytelling that inspires. Together, we’ll explore how to craft irresistible campaigns that feel authentic and engaging. Participants will discover creative strategies for donor connection, the art of compelling storytelling, and smart timing tips to boost annual appeal success (and add a little more fun).

While participation in this workshop is free, we do ask for a $10 deposit, which will be refunded upon attendance or if cancellation is made with more than 24 hours’ notice. Please note that this workshop is limited to 20 participants.
