This month, we are joined by a special guest speaker, Mary Peterson, who will lead us in a discussion on Major Gifts / Unrestricted Giving:

Unrestricted giving keeps organizations resilient, yet donors often default to restricted gifts, leaving finance teams to worry about predictability, compliance, and margin pressure. Too many fundraisers find themselves caught between what donors want to fund and what their organization actually needs to thrive.

On September 24th, join The Co-Co for a session focused on making unrestricted support feel inspiring, not generic, while meeting the realities your finance partners manage every day.

Drawing on practical, field-tested strategies, this session will show fundraisers how to translate operating needs into donor-centered impact, positioning "where it's needed most" as a powerful outcome rather than an afterthought. You'll learn how to build a menu of unrestricted options that still feel tangible, along with the language needed to make the ask with confidence and handle common donor pushback like "I want it designated." When development teams partner with finance early, messaging stays accurate and credible, and donors come away trusting that their unrestricted gift is just as meaningful as a designated one.

You'll leave this half-day intensive with a simple unrestricted messaging framework, sample scripts you can put to use right away, and a finance-friendly approach that strengthens both donor trust and internal alignment.
