Fundraising from the Heart:
The Soul of Money and the Soul
of Story with Lynne Twist and
Gail Larsen

GOOD NEWS: The early signing discount for this event has been extended one more week up until Feb 22nd

Special Fireside Chat Friday evening with Lynne and Gail for participants staying overnight Friday & Saturday.

Fundraising in these times of financial crisis must transcend the strength of your history and the good work you do in the world. Your capacity to support your mission in an uncertain future will come from expressing your deepest values and reaching out to touch people at a soul level. When you do, your donors become your allies and your story starts ripples of change and support as it is told and retold.  Native American wisdom reminds us: “Tell me a fact and I’ll listen. Tell me a truth and I’ll learn. But tell me a story, and it will live in my heart forever.”

This workshop is designed to support you to tell your story in a new way as you:

• Recommit to fundraising as a sacred, joyful expression of your organization’s mission
• Reconnect to your passion and claim your Original Medicine, the gifts and talents you and you alone bring to your chosen work
• Discover your Home Zone™, the place of your personal power and authentic expression
• Appreciate the radical, surprising truth of sufficiency
• Understand and apply the principles of effective generative fundraising
• Design effective fundraising strategies
• Experience the four levels of engagement and the power of your story in opening hearts
• Learn and practice the three speaking skills that will transform your communications
• Explore key elements to create a compelling, irresistible fundraising conversation
• Transform your relationship with money and its role in your life and your organization’s.

This experiential workshop lights the path to a dramatic shift in your capacity to communicate and be heard. Transform your capacity to connect deeply with others, build trust, and attract funds from those who connect with the heart and soul of your purpose and the real you.
