Culture Change: Lessons Learned in Starting a Major Gift Effort
Your board wants to raise more money by attracting major gifts in support of your organizations mission! Now what? In this session we will focus on lessons learned in leading a culture toward a major gift focus. Strategic planning, board development, staffing, budget and many more issues await those inspired organizations that begin to focus on major gift fundraising. We will look at a number of best practices employed, challenges overcome and opportunities realized as we study actual cases involving organizations that have succeeded in securing major gifts by working through this change in fundraising and organizational culture.
When our session concludes, you will have the fundamental understanding of the process and a road map for structuring an organization toward a culture that is ready to attract major gifts. Much work still lies ahead for you and your organization. However, with the process demystified down to practical, manageable steps, you will leave with confidence and with the ability to see a path forward toward success!

AFP March Educational Luncheon
FUNDRAISING JEOPARDY – THE GAME SHOW
Find out now what AFP offers fundraisers to keep them out of jeopardy and at the top of their game.
Speaking of game, Larry Hostetler, AFP Chapter Services Director for the Western U.S., will present a fun (What? Ethics? Fun? That’s what it says) and informative “game show” that covers resources available through AFP to help you avoid ethical problems and navigate through those that can’t be avoided. There are even prizes for the contestants!
What are people saying about this presentation? Well, glad you asked! Christina Adams, Past President of the Northern Arizona Chapter, says of the presentation “What a great way to make ethics fun.” Edward McPherson, President of the Permian Basin (TX) Chapter, says “you're the first guy to make ethics an engaging lunch!”
Few people want to think about ethics until it is on the front page of the paper. At which point we all want to know about it. Why wait?
Members and non-members alike, active and retired fundraisers both will benefit from and enjoy this unique presentation.
