Location
Join us for our Major Gifts Training Seminar in Washington, D.C., at the end of this summer! We will kick things off with a welcome reception on September 4th, and the training sessions will be held in Washington, D.C., at the Washington Marriott Georgetown on the 5th, with additional opportunities for hospitality and good conversation at a nearby local restaurant, plus an optional fun activity on the evening of the 5th. Participants traveling to D.C. for the training will have access group rates at The Washington Marriott Georgetown or can choose to stay at another of the many other hotels within walking distance of the training location. There will be 1:1 consultations on the morning of the 6th to conclude the training.
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 also have the opportunity to meet peers also striving to be great fundraisers, enjoy wonderful meals together, and enjoy sunny D.C.!
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.
