1 week only: 501 Videos "How to Find & Cultivate Donors" 1/2 Off

I've long been a fan of 501 Videos and Movie Mondays. I'm such a fan, I'm an affiliate. I really believe these videos are so packed with practical, actionable information, that you'd have to work hard to not benefit from them!

Now they're offering their terrific 3 DVD set How to Find & Cultivate Donors for half off.

You get the three DVDs but 501 Videos is throwing in 3 more bonus DVDs, including the popular The 10 Best Movies for Helping You Make the Ask.

You can read all about the offer, and the content of the 6 DVDs, at on their page:

This call will be part class, part roundtable. I'll be sharing some strategies that are working but there will be plenty of time for group coaching as well!

This call will be recorded and available for purchase afterwards.
