Advanced Fundraising: Major Gifts

Gary Rowe, Executive Director, Rock Island Community Foundation

Did you know that 85%-90% of giving in the United States each year comes from individuals? Yet, personal solicitation often gets overlooked. This course offers an in-depth exploration of personal solicitation with a focus on major gifts. You’ll learn how to effectively prepare and deliver gift solicitations and craft a tailored proposal for a prospect of your choice. The course culminates in a mock major gift ask, where you’ll present to a local fundraising professional acting as your “donor.”
