Register here! Your appeal letter is written. Your emails are scheduled. Now what? Here is what most nonprofits miss: the gifts that change your year rarely come from a mass email. They come from sitting across from someone who already cares about your work and having a real conversation. With only about 40 working days left in 2026 once the holidays come out, the time to start those conversations is now. Join us for a free, one-hour working session on how to bring more money in the door before December 31. This is not a lecture. You will build your plan in real time and leave with: - Your list of the 10 people you need to meet before the year ends - A clear, compelling story you can actually say out loud - The questions that open the ask and make it feel natural - Your January 1 game plan to carry the momentum into 2027 Whether you are brand new to fundraising or a seasoned leader whose year-end campaign is already out the door, this session will help you turn relationships into real support. Angela’s clients have turned single phone calls into five-figure gifts, including a $15,000 donation that became a year-end match. Who should attend: executive directors, founders, board members, development staff, and volunteers who want to raise more this giving season. What to bring: your lunch, a pen, and your donor or contact list. Thursday, October 29, 2026 12:00 to 1:00 PM PT / 2:00 to 3:00 PM CT Live on Zoom | Free to attend Register now to save your seat. You’ll leave ready to make your first ask this week.
