What to Expect
Let our experts help you maximize your fundraising and engagement efforts! These sessions are crafted to deliver actionable insights, practical tips, and real-world strategies so you can feel more creative and confident as you strengthen your development programs.
Lay the Foundation
Designed just for Jumpstart members, these workshops help lay a foundation for growing a nonprofit’s base of supporters and fundraising for individual gifts. Jumpstart participants can select from twelve workshops, allowing organizations to experience a comprehensive curriculum where each session builds upon the previous one.
Whether you’re focused on donor engagement, fundraising strategies, or leveraging data, these workshops will empower your team to take actionable steps toward improving your development programs.
Build Community with Your Cohort and Beyond
Not only will you learn from our expert coaches, but you will also have the opportunity to connect with fellow nonprofits within your cohort—and across other cohorts. We’ve designed these workshops to foster a sense of community and encourage cross-pollination learning, so you can exchange insights and ideas with organizations that share similar missions or operate in similar regions.
Breakout sessions tailored to mission, region, and more will provide meaningful connections, creative ideas, and actionable strategies that can help strengthen your network and support your growth.
