Overview
Join us for three unique programs focused on family giving, led by Mitchell Spearman, J.D., Founder and Dreamer of Gifts of a Lifetime.
We will first focus on the role of philanthropic conversations across generations and how this important work can lead to greater engagement and affinity among your most loyal families for generations to come. You will be able to build upon your own storytelling and convening skills, matched with an enhanced knowledge of family dynamics and the emerging voices of philanthropy, in order to add value to your skillset as a frontline fundraiser. These will allow you to gain the confidence you need to facilitate conversations amongst your prospect families that focus on the value of philanthropy. Complete the series by learning how to incorporate family giving into your fundraising strategy, leading to proposals that align the values of your donor families with the values that define your institution.
