Build Your Confidence in Securing and Attending a Donor Meeting

In this interactive session, we will discuss how to go about reaching out to your existing and potential supporters to secure a meeting. We will review how to prepare for your meeting, steps to take before the meeting, and what to bring with you. Next we will talk about what to do at your meeting, ten questions to spark mission-rich conversation and how to end it as a success. Along the way we will pause for mini-brainstorming sessions to craft your organization's unique impact talking points and invitation to support the future vision. Join us to learn how you can take a step up from appeals and email asks to building relationships with your donors by taking the time to meet with them!

In this workshop, participants will:

• Learn how to secure and prepare for donor meetings.

• Utilize their unique, organization-specific impact talking points and questions to ask their donors.

• Understand how to develop confidence in building relationships with donors by attending donor meetings in person or virtually.
