June 25th - "Storytelling for Grantseekers : Guide to Creative Nonprofit Fundraising "
Grantwriters have plenty in common with fiction and nonfiction storytellers. Grantseekers need to learn how to transport readers to another location and teach them about people they may know nothing about. Grantwriting is often a tedious experience. Make it creative. To better capture the imagination (and wallet) of your audience, observe your agency in action as would a reporter, then craft what you see into a narrative as would a novelist.

July 9th - "Double Your Donations "
A successful annual gifts program is the foundation for a prosperous major gifts program. But how can $50 and $150 donors be turned into major donors? In addition, how can we increase the comfort level and confidence of our partners-board members and volunteers-to engage them in approaching prospects and donors? This workshop explores these answers and how to implement a major gifts program.
