Will you be with me today when Jim Langley, Author and President of Langley Innovations, shares the approaches that rebuild trust, regrow depleted donor communities, and raise the sights of the most discerning philanthropists in a CFRE-credit earning presentation on Tuesday, January 24, at 3:30 pm EST?

Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Rethinking Fundraising Principles: Success Will Be Driven By What We Elicit Not How We Solicit. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.

Jim Langley, President of Langley Solutions, will lay out what he believes will be the most important philanthropic precepts and practices in the years ahead, many of which are the inverse of the assumptions that have underpinned fundraising for decades. In his presentation he will speak to why the elevator interview is far more effective than the elevator pitch, why a simple draft concept paper is better than a glossy brochure, and why a stewardship interview is the best way of strengthening philanthropic partnerships. Langley will show how these approaches stand the best chance of rebuilding trust, rebuilding depleted donor communities, and raising the sights of the most discerning philanthropists

Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Scoring Your Next (or First) Million-Dollar Gift!. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.

Fundraising practitioners like to talk about several types of impressive gifts: for example, major, principal and leadership. The truth is, they mean different amounts to different organizations and different amounts to the same organization, depending on where they are in their history. With million-dollar gifts, there is absolute clarity on the standard. Being there on numerous exuberant occasions when a small or mid-size non-profit brought in its first million-dollar gift -- this is nothing less than a game-changer. It means much more than an infusion of cherished capital to fuel the expansion of good works. The non-profit enters coveted new territory in which it is widely viewed as a good place for other leadership donors to invest seven-figure gifts. The impact is dramatic both internally and externally. Is it possible for your non-profit to obtain its first million-dollar gift? You bet it is! By leaning on the art and science of fundraising, proven principles, strategies, and best practices, new organizations climb this beautiful mountain every day of the year. And we will review how it is possible and do-able.
