comprehensive introduction to major gifts fundraising
AmPhil’s intensive major gifts fundraising training seminar is designed for development professionals as well as other nonprofit leaders looking to learn and brush up on major gifts fundraising practices. This in-person training covers a range of topics, giving participants a general overview of the foundational principles and essential practices needed for securing major gifts. Our seminar includes sessions on goal setting, finding major donors, securing visits, planned giving basics, and so much more. After the group training sessions, participants receive a one-on-one coaching session with an AmPhil consultant.
LOCATION
Join us in beautiful Denver, Colorado, at the Crawford Hotel in the ‘Urban Neighborhoods’ room.
THE EXPERIENCE
In an intimate small-group setting, AmPhil’s seasoned consultants will teach you how to set major giving goals, find new donors, schedule visits, optimally manage your donor portfolio, and more. You’ll schedule an hour-long one-on-one coaching session with one of the session leaders to discuss your particular fundraising challenges and questions to identify ways to help your nonprofit succeed. In addition to the group training sessions and personalized advising, you’ll have the opportunity to meet peers also striving to be great fundraisers, share wonderful meals together, and enjoy sunny Colorado!
Participants come away from the training with a solid understanding of:
- How to set major gifts goals and the KPIs that help you achieve success
- How to find and steward donors
- How to secure visits, craft proposals, and make your pitch
- The basics of planned giving vehicles
- Moves Management and how you can develop a system to keep your donors engaged
Participants also receive a course manual with additional information and tools to reference again and again after the training sharing these strategies and tactics to the entire development team.
