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.

A New Approach to Workshop Pricing

We believe professional development should be accessible to nonprofit professionals regardless of what they or their organizations can afford.

Beginning this fall, all NPC workshops will use a three-tier sliding scale, adapted from Alexis J. Cunningfolk’s The Sliding Scale: A Tool of Economic Justice (the “Green Bottle Method”).

The idea is simple: choose the rate that best reflects your current resources. Every participant receives the same program, regardless of what they pay. No application, documentation, or explanation is required.

THE FULL GREEN BOTTLE — Choose this rate if you or your organization can comfortably pay the full cost of the program. Paying at this level helps NPC keep lower-cost options available to others.

THE TIPPED GREEN BOTTLE — Choose this rate if paying the full price would put meaningful pressure on your personal or organizational budget.

THE LOW GREEN BOTTLE — Choose this rate if cost would otherwise prevent you from participating.

There is no “right” tier. We trust you to choose the one that makes participation sustainable for you.
