Raise More Money For Your Organization Through The Magic of Grassroots Fundraising

This training will help you develop an integrated grassroots fundraising approach for your organization through communications, technology and organizing. Progressive Technology Project has been working with grassroots organizations nationally to help them use technology in an effective and integrated manner for a dozen years. We've learned from the field and we want to share the stories of successful fundraising.

We will show examples of how a CRM database is a platform that can boost fundraising for grassroots groups through a limited-duration, multichannel, all-hands-on-deck technique we call a "Sprint Fundraising Campaign".

We've seen grassroots groups raising $20,000 to $45,000 through 7-10 days of intensive and well-prepared effort. How did they do it? Planning, messaging, training and incorporating their staff, base, and allies. Sprint Fundraising Campaigns have these features that can apply generally to grassroots fundraising.  

Among the topics we'll cover:

• Sprint Fundraising Campaigns
• Communications for Fundraising
• Different Ways of Fundraising: Which types are more effective for your organization?
• Integrating Your Organizing, Communications, Technology and Fundraising
• Creating Reports and Using Dashboards

The first day will cover the concepts and best practices and will not be database specific; the second day will zero in on PowerBase and CiviCRM techniques. You may chose to attend only the first day and not the second.

On day two, you'll apply what you learned on day one. Second day attendees will need a notebook / laptop computer to access  the database. We will be using PowerBase, which is built upon CiviCRM.

The training is a combination of demonstration and hands-on application of what is being covered.

There will be built-in time for consultation with our training team on your specific questions.
