This virtual fundraising workshop effectively adapts the tried and true strategies of the major gift fundraising cycle for a virtual setting. Through three distinct sessions led by Robert Bull, fundraising expert and president of The Compass Group, participants will explore successful means of cultivation and solicitation that transcend current travel, event, and additional limitations for donor interaction. The workshop sessions focus on the processes within the fundraising cycle, leaving participants – whether new volunteers or seasoned development professionals – with a greater confidence in navigating the current landscape and effectively engaging their own donor and prospect pools in this moment to benefit organizations far into the future.
