Part 1: Fundraising Basics Everyone Should Know

Thursday, September 17th, 8:30-10:00am

This session covers the core concepts every staff and board member should understand about fundraising–from building a culture of philanthropy to the fundraising cycle to legacy giving. Whether you’re new to fundraising or want a refresher on best practices, you’ll leave with the foundational knowledge you need to create a strong fundraising program and the confidence to build authentic donor relationships.

Important announcement!

Pay equity is a serious issue for nonprofits, and at NPC, we want to respect the diversity of our community. In honor of that diversity, NPC is now using a new pricing structure for all its workshop programming, based on the The Sliding Scale: A Tool of Economic Justice (aka The Green Bottle Method), developed by Alexis J. Cunningfolk.

This is a simple way to let you choose the price that honestly matches your personal and/or your organization’s financial reality. All tiers get the same offering, and every payment is valued equally. Please reach out if you have any questions or thoughts about this pricing model.

THE FULL GREEN BOTTLE — For those with steady income who aren’t worried about basics, but are working through debt, building savings, or moving beyond paycheck to paycheck. If family, a partner, or friends could help cover the cost, please consider that first so the scale stays available to others.

THE TIPPED GREEN BOTTLE — For those who struggle to consistently access health care, housing, food, or child care and are living paycheck to paycheck.

THE LOW GREEN BOTTLE — For those facing the greatest financial hardship, where cost would otherwise be a barrier to participating at all.

We trust you to choose your own tier. No documentation, no explanation needed — just make your selection at checkout.
