Nurturing a Culture of Philanthropy: How to Build a Generous Community 

Does your organization have a culture that promotes philanthropy?  In the fast-paced life of a fundraising professional, much time is spent in transactional exchanges with constituents. Yet, we all know that developing deeper relationships leads to more meaningful connections, more satisfaction, and more resources for the community. This workshop will explore the five key components needed to create a Culture of Philanthropy and what it means to move from transaction to transformation to build a more generous community.  Explore how to add meaning to your professional practice, forge significant relationships, and ultimately close more meaningful gifts.
