From the Nonprofit Storytelling Conference and The Better Fundraising Company:
Tactical Thursdays
Summer School
The fundraising strategies no one taught you -- until now
Thursdays, June 11 -- August 6 | 2p ET, 11a PT | Free
Eight weeks of free, live training in the tactics, frameworks, and insider knowledge that most fundraisers spend years figuring out on their own.
Fundraising is one of the hardest jobs in the nonprofit world.
And most fundraisers learn it on the job -- which sounds fine, until you realize "on the job" usually means trial and error, secondhand advice, and a lot of quietly wondering if you're doing it right.
That's why we built Tactical Thursdays Summer School.
Every Thursday this summer, hundreds of nonprofit fundraisers will gather on Zoom for a free, live hour of training in the strategies that actually move donors to give. No lectures. No theory. Just the real stuff -- taught by some of the best fundraisers in the country.
Sign up for Tactical Thursdays Summer School (presented by The Better Fundraising Company) and join a community of fundraisers who are done piecing it together on their own -- and ready to actually learn this stuff. Together.
TT Summer School is FREE
We've got eight sessions over nine weeks. Here's what's on the syllabus:
June 11 -- How do you stay meaningfully engaged with donors all year long -- and get their best gift year after year? Steven Screen's going to show you how.
June 18 -- How do you recruit new monthly donors without starting from scratch every time? Sarah Lundberg's going to share her ideal monthly donor recruitment appeal (and give you a template you can customize for your organization).
June 25 -- How do you tell the kind of story that makes a donor feel great about her last gift and inspired to give again? Steven Screen's going to walk you through it.
July 9 -- What's a lift note -- and how do you write one that makes your direct mail raise more money? Jonathan Steck's bringing plug-and-play examples you can use immediately.
July 16 -- What major donor Asks are the most irresistible? Jim Shapiro's going to share 4 kinds of Asks that work time after time.
July 23 -- How do you actually ask a major donor for a gift? Jim Shapiro's going to give you the words -- in order, for real.
July 30 -- How do you steward a major donor so they give again -- and give more? Jim Shapiro's going to show you how.
August 6 -- Steven Screen closes out Summer School with a commencement address. And a little celebration -- this one's TT's 200th episode.
There's never been anything like Tactical Thursdays Summer School
And I'm honestly not sure why ...
If you know and love Tactical Thursdays, you're really going to LOVE Tactical Thursdays Summer School. And not just because our friends from the Better Fundraising Company have helped develop the sessions and content.
Tactical Thursdays Summer School isn't a typical webinar.
Every session is built around real strategies you can actually use -- taught by fundraisers who've been in the trenches, not academics who study them from a distance. And there's always time for Q&A, because if you've got a question, someone else does too.
Fundraising can be a lonely job
But it doesn't have to be.
That's what makes the Tactical Thursdays community so special. Every week you'll be learning alongside hundreds of fundraisers facing the same challenges, sharing wins and working through obstacles together.
And here's a good idea -- send this page to a fundraising friend. Invite them to sign up for TT Summer School (it's free, after all), and watch as your local fundraising community gets even stronger.
Have your questions answered
If you've got a fundraising question, Tactical Thursdays Summer School is the place to come to get it answered ... for FREE!
There's ALWAYS time for Q&A during Tactical Thursdays. Because if you have a question, someone else does, too. And we all do better when we all do better.
Each session will be recorded
Even if you can't participate in all of the Tactical Thursdays Summer School sessions live, you can still watch them and learn from them.
Every episode is recorded and posted in the Tactical Thursdays library. So you can always catch up on past episodes and share relevant episodes with your boss, your board or your fundraising friends.
