Networking over pizza begins at 5:00 pm, presentation is from 5:30 to 7:00 pm

Ben Bernanke said that the recession is over, but Oregon nonprofits won’t see the effects of that good news for a while. Yet, some local nonprofits weathered the recession and even made some gains. Many of these organizations had board members who bit the bullet, hit the pavement and built ties to donors that were about more than just money. Join Carol Cheney, TACS Associate Consultant, for a frank call to action for Board members.

You’ll learn:

  • How to take the fear out of fundraising
  • How to successfully partner with your staff on fundraising efforts
  • How to “leave a legacy” that will support your nonprofit in good times and bad

Come to this session prepared to roll up your sleeves, share your deepest fears, stretch your thinking and be surprised at how easy fundraising can be!
