Fundraising Training in KY and TN

   

I'm thrilled to be on the road this week!

Tomorrow and Wednesday, I'll be in Bowling Green doing a training with folks from the Western Kentucky University alumni relations & annual giving team! We're going to have a powerful 24 hours together!

Then on Thursday I'll be in Chattanooga keynoting and doing breakout sessions at the Tennessee Valley Institute for Nonprofit Excellence!

Let me know if you're in those areas! It'd be great to see if we could connect.

New Webinar: Fundraising in the Bible

I'm excited to announce a new webinar I'll be conducting on Thursday, October 21 at 12 noon Eastern Time: Fundraising in the Bible.

Did you know the Bible contains stories of like Moses, David, Hezekiah, and even Paul all asked for money?

If you're involved in raising money for a Christian organization, ministry, or church - including fundraising for your own missionary support - this seminar will help you!

You can join either through your computer or by phone. But hurry, space is limited! To learn more, and to register for the webinar, go to the Fundraising in the Bible page

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!

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:
How to Find & Cultivate Donors

Special Offer: Movie Mondays Pro

If you love 501 Videos free Movie Mondays you'll love Movie Mondays Pro [affiliate link]. They're calling it the "world's largest collection of fundraising professionals on video." And I believe them.

If your not familiar with Movie Mondays, check out a this week's free movie called Nervous About Making the Ask - and How to Overcome it. (I especially love the story about the teenage son!)

A subscription to Movie Mondays Pro will give you unlimited access to the more than 100 movies created so far. That's the combined experience of over 95 fundraising professionals at your finger tips.

I'm a member. And I think you'll benefit from joining. For more information go to the Movie Mondays Pro page.
