Massive Fundraising: How to Double, Triple or Quadruple Your Income - Extended Lunch Program

When: 9/25/2018 12:00 PM - 2:15 PM Why do some organizations truly excel in their fundraising and others merely get by? In this session we'll explore the results of Adrian's study of organizations that have successfully doubled or tripled their donated income in a five-year period or less.
 
We'll look at the characteristics of their fundraising leadership, the nature of these individuals and how they spend their time. We'll also look at how they manage teams, culture and organizational structures (such as performance review and remuneration) to help them build their success. But critical to success was not so much the actions that our outstanding leaders took as how they thought about solving their fundraising problems, or the problems that needed to be fixed organizationally to allow fundraising to be successful. We'll look at what was distinctive about their approach and close by exploring systems thinking and the power of developing systems thinking in teams.
 
By the end of the session participants will be able to:
 
·       Describe the characteristics of particularly effective fundraising leaders.
·       Recruit and retain an excellent team of professional fundraisers.
·       Manage and develop organizational culture to allow fundraising to be successful.
·       Think at various levels of complexity to unblock barriers to fundraising success.
·       Understand how the concept of critical hermeneutics can create an entirely fresh perspective on an organization's fundraising.
