Learn to teach the JOY of giving
Empowering nonprofits, both large and small, to achieve fundraising excellence and develop a culture of philanthropy.
Achieve Fundraising Excellence
Donor relations is just a fancy way of saying "taking care of the people who support you."
Basically, it's all about making sure that the people who give money to our nonprofit feel appreciated and connected to our cause.
Think of it like hosting a party for your friends. You want to make sure everyone has a good time, feels welcomed, and wants to come back for the next one. That's what donor relations is all about - creating a positive experience for our donors so they want to keep supporting us.
Embrace a Philanthropic Mindset
Do you have fear or negative energy around money?
Developing a philanthropic mindset can involve shifting your focus from scarcity and lack to abundance and possibility.
By embracing a philanthropic mindset, you will overcome their fears and negative beliefs about money and instead channel your energy and resources towards creating a positive impact. This can involve seeking out opportunities to give back to your community, supporting causes you care about, and embracing a spirit of generosity and abundance.
By doing so, you will not only help create a better world, but find a sense of purpose, joy, and fulfillment in your personal and professional life.
Develop Community + Connections
We believe that building relationships with others in the fundraising community is crucial to your success and growth. That's why we provide opportunities for you to join our community of like-minded individuals who share your passion.
Our goal is to empower you to feel more confident and equipped to navigate the complexities (and your fears) of fundraising and to provide opportunities for collaboration and growth.
At RAISE, we provide a group coaching forum where you can ask our instructors questions, develop meaningful relationships with your peers, and find mentors.
