"Big Gifts for Small Shops"
When you're a small organization, you may look at larger institutions and the gifts they secure as impossible for you to get. But small shops can make connections and build relationships to develop big gifts, too. In this session, we'll review the process of developing a major donor relationship; develop a case for support that inspires big gifts; and pinpoint how you can be strategic in your development approach when you don't have a lot of hands to do the work.
In this session:
 Assess organizational readiness and infrastructure needs to secure big gifts. Prioritize techniques that will work for your organization. Identify team members for gift cultivation and solicitation. Develop a workable action plan when you have a small staff and competing priorities.Target Audience:
Beginner level
Small organization staff (typically no more than 2 people in development department, not including
support staff, if any)
