Tell me if this sounds familiar:

Your to-do list is spread over two pages and each task requires a totally different part of your brain. You’ve got to get back to your board chair about that data they requested, submit the grant application before the looming deadline, send out last week’s thank you notes, set up a meeting with a major donor, and convene your volunteer event committee. Oh, and you haven’t checked your voicemail in three days. You know your year-end letter is the foundation of your grassroots fundraising program, but you can’t quite seem to make time for the creative process of writing an effective, joyful appeal.

Accelerate Fundraising Appeals is an intensive, collaborative, four-hour solicitation letter-writing workshop designed for busy nonprofit professionals. Each class is limited to eight people so each participant gets personalized, actionable feedback. You’ll be guided through creative brainstorming and writing exercises to help you uncover the most compelling way to tell your organization’s story. Then, as a group, we’ll work together, switching between drafting and critiquing. You will leave with a strong draft of your next appeal.

It will be creative. It will be fun. You will feel great.
