- Many charities are, for the first time, making the transition to major gift fundraising. While they are to be applauded in their pursuit of long-term sustainability and strategic growth, the reality is that many organizations have far more “suspects” than truly qualified prospects. Identification calls are needed. This session examines the process of opening the door for the first time. Using proven methods, participants will learn basic but effective methods for qualifying prospects for the purpose of major gift cultivation, solicitation and stewardship. Entry to advanced-level practitioner.
