This session will offer advice for face-to-face donor solicitation, featuring Passages Northwest Development Director Laurie Johnson, Passages Northwest Board Secretary Nancy Ward, and Shunpike’s own Development Director, Rebecca Olson.

Although fundraising letters and events are effective and widespread methods for raising funds by way of individual donation and sponsorship, nothing rivals the effectiveness of a direct ask. In this workshop, we will review tactics for approaching, cultivating, and asking individuals and businesses to become major supporters. Whether a board member, artist, development staff, or avid supporter, this session will help you practice your pitch and ask for the support your project deserves.
