introduction to fundraising

Are you interested in exploring fundraising as a career? Are you just starting to raise money for your organization or project? Or do you support your fundraising teams and want to know more about their world? We can help!

This workshop is designed to provide a general overview of fundraising concepts and terminology that will strengthen your understanding of how to raise money. Join us as we explore aspects of fundraising and everything in between.

Participants will leave with a better understanding of:

  • the charitable landscape in Canada and what motivates donors to give
  • what impacts our ability to raise money
  • how to interact with donors at every stage of the donor cycle from identification to stewardship

"Rowena's introduction to fundraising workshop provided me with an excellent base knowledge of how fundraising works in the modern age. The workshop both confirmed and dispelled popular beliefs about fundraising and opened my eyes to new possibilities. Most importantly, Rowena is passionate about the subject and was receptive to answer as many questions as we had. I would not hesitate to recommend that anyone with an interest in fundraising choose to take one (or all) of these workshops!"
