Do you have a list of potential donors for your organization, but you’re not sure how to begin, how to approach them and connect? Do your cold e-mails to new donors get ignored and you never get feedback? Don´t despair – we have the tools to help.
Learn everything you need to know about donor networking in this online course!
Knowing how to connect and network with donors will give you a huge advantage over your competitors. Around 70% of funding is probably awarded through contracts and not through open calls – in these cases, an established relationship with a potential donor is of core importance. If the donor already knows you, you have the first foot in the door that can lead to further funding and more opportunities.
