DESCRIPTION:Virtual Workshop – Live/OnlineSeries Fee: $175 for MCN membe
 rs / $255 for nonmembers  \n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for the Series\n\n\n\n\nTh
 is series is now at maximum capacity and has sold out. There is no wait li
 st for this event. This series will be offered again in early 2027\; check
  back on our Events Calendar soon to register. \n\n\n\n\nMany nonprofit le
 aders know they need to diversify funding\, but major donor fundraising ca
 n feel out of reach\, especially in small- to mid-size nonprofits without 
 large development teams. The good news is that your next major donor is li
 kely already connected to your organization or within your existing networ
 k. The key is knowing where to look\, how to build the relationship\, and 
 how to confidently invite deeper investment in your mission. \n\n\n\nIn th
 is 3-session virtual series\, we will help you build the confidence\, clar
 ity\, and practical systems needed to identify\, cultivate\, and engage ma
 jor donors in ways that feel genuine\, strategic\, and aligned with your m
 ission. \n\n\n\nAcross three live online sessions\, we will reframe fundra
 ising as relationship-building\, map the people already surrounding your m
 ission\, prioritize the right donor prospects\, and strengthen your abilit
 y to lead donor conversations with greater clarity and confidence. Through
  practical tools\, guided exercises\, and real-time application\, this ser
 ies is designed to help you move from uncertainty and overwhelm to a more 
 focused\, strategic\, and repeatable approach to major donor fundraising. 
 \n\n\n\nYou will leave with practical frameworks and tools you can use imm
 ediately to strengthen donor relationships\, build a more intentional dono
 r portfolio\, and create momentum toward long-term fundraising sustainabil
 ity. Past participants have shared that this course increased their confid
 ence\, strengthened their donor conversations\, and gave them practical to
 ols they could apply right away. \n\n\n\nBy the end of this 3-session ser
 ies\, you will be able to:  \n\n\n\n\nReframe major donor fundraising as 
 an opportunity to build meaningful donor partnerships rather than simply a
 sk for money. \n\n\n\nIdentify potential major donors\, connectors\, and
  advisors already within your organization’s existing network. \n\n\n\n
 Prioritize the right donor prospects based on alignment\, engagement\, rea
 diness\, and funding goals. \n\n\n\nDevelop tailored engagement strategie
 s that deepen trust and move donor relationships forward. \n\n\n\nLead do
 nor conversations with greater clarity\, confidence\, and purpose. \n\n\n
 \nUse practical tools and frameworks to build a more structured\, strategi
 c\, and repeatable major donor process that supports more diversified fund
 ing.\n\n\n\n\nWatch a video about the Major Donor Coaching Cohort Experien
 ce here. \n\n\n\nSession Details\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nSession 1: Mindset and 
 Cultivate Mapping – September 15 @ 9:30am – 11:00am CT \nIn this ses
 sion\, we begin by exploring the psychology of generosity and dismantling 
 the “begging” narrative that often creates fear or hesitation around f
 undraising. Together\, we will shift the mindset from asking for money to 
 inviting partnership in meaningful work. \n\n\n\nWe will then map 30–50 
 relationship pathways within your existing network to help you identify th
 e hidden donor potential already surrounding your mission\, including supp
 orters\, connectors\, and advisors. \n\n\n\nBy the end of Session 1\, you 
 will be able to:  \n\n\n\n\nReframe fundraising as an invitation to partn
 ership rather than a transactional ask.\n\n\n\nDescribe how generosity\, s
 hared purpose\, and donor motivation can shape stronger fundraising conver
 sations.\n\n\n\nIdentify supporters\, connectors\, and advisors already wi
 thin your organization’s network.\n\n\n\nCreate a Cultivate Map of 30–
 50 relationship pathways connected to your mission.\n\n\n\nRecognize where
  major donor potential may already exist within your current community and
  relationships. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSession 2: Building the Right Portfolio 
 – September 29 @ 9:30am – 11:00am CT \nIn this session\, we will help
  you move from a broad or cluttered database to a prioritized portfolio of
  qualified donor prospects. Using the Engagement Scorecard and related too
 ls\, we will evaluate prospects based on engagement\, alignment\, influenc
 e\, readiness\, and relationship strength. \n\n\n\nYou will begin building
  a focused Power 10 Portfolio and develop customized engagement designs th
 at help move priority donors from contact to committed partner. \n\n\n\nBy
  the end of Session 2\, you will be able to:  \n\n\n\n\nEvaluate donor pr
 ospects using practical criteria such as alignment\, engagement\, influenc
 e\, and readiness. \n\n\n\nDistinguish between a broad contact list and a
  focused donor portfolio built for meaningful cultivation. \n\n\n\nPriori
 tize a Power 10 Portfolio based on real funding goals and relationship pot
 ential. \n\n\n\nDevelop customized engagement designs for your top prospe
 cts. \n\n\n\nBuild a more strategic and repeatable process for major dono
 r cultivation over time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSession 3: Designing Confident C
 onversations – October 13 @ 9:30am – 11:00am CT \nIn this session\, w
 e will build the messaging and structure you need to lead donor conversati
 ons with greater clarity and confidence. Building on the work from the fir
 st two sessions\, we will help you define impact\, communicate need\, and 
 make the ask in a way that feels grounded\, relational\, and clear. \n\n\n
 \nWe will also strengthen your approach to stewardship so donors become mo
 re than a source of funding. They become meaningful partners in your missi
 on. \n\n\n\nBy the end of Session 3\, you will be able to:   \n\n\n\n\nU
 se a clear framework to structure major donor conversations with greater c
 onfidence.\n\n\n\nCommunicate shared values\, need\, impact\, and invitati
 on in a compelling and mission-centered way.\n\n\n\nPrepare for donor asks
  with messaging that feels clear\, relational\, and strategic.\n\n\n\nAppr
 oach the ask as a natural part of relationship-building rather than a disc
 onnected fundraising task.\n\n\n\nStrengthen stewardship and next-step pla
 nning to support long-term donor partnership.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOptional Impl
 ementation Labs: From Strategy to Action – September 22\, October 6\, & 
 October 20 @ 9:30am – 10:30am CT\nThese optional one-hour working sess
 ions are designed to help you move from theory to execution without the o
 verwhelm. Through peer discussion\, hands-on application\, and focused gro
 up coaching\, we will bridge the gap between “knowing” and “doing.
 ”  \n\n\n\nRather than introducing new content\, these sessions give y
 ou space to apply the course tools directly to your own donor portfolio\, 
 messaging\, outreach strategies\, and upcoming conversations. Together\, w
 e will troubleshoot challenges\, refine next steps\, and build momentum so
  you can walk into your next donor meeting with greater clarity\, confiden
 ce\, and a practical 90-day action plan. \n\n\n\nBy participating in the
  optional implementation labs\, you will be able to:  \n\n\n\n\nApply cou
 rse tools and frameworks directly to your own donor relationships and fund
 raising priorities. \n\n\n\nRefine engagement strategies\, donor messagin
 g\, and next steps through peer discussion and group coaching. \n\n\n\nSt
 rengthen your readiness for upcoming donor meetings and conversations. \n
 \n\n\nBuild a practical 90-day activation plan for cultivation\, asks\, fo
 llow-up\, and stewardship. \n\n\n\nIncrease your confidence in moving fro
 m planning to real-world donor action.\n\n\n\n\nThese three Implementation
  Labs sessions are included with the “Building and Cultivating Major Don
 ors for Small- to Mid-Size Nonprofits Series” registration. \n\n\n\n\n\n
 \n\n\n\nWhat You Will Walk Away With\n\n\n\nBy the end of the series\, you
  will leave with more than notes. You will leave with a practical fundrais
 ing engine built for immediate execution and long-term sustainability\, in
 cluding:  \n\n\n\n\nThe Cultivate Map: a strategic visualization of 30
 –50 relationship pathways and connectors within your existing network \
 n\n\n\nThe Power 10 Portfolio: a prioritized list of qualified donors con

 id-size nonprofits diversify funding\, build meaningful donor partnerships
 \, and create stronger\, more sustainable fundraising systems. With more

 t teams or formal fundraising training. She believes that for nonprofits 
 to truly thrive\, their leaders must thrive too\, and she brings both str
 ategy and heart to helping leaders build joy-filled\, sustainable approach
 es to fundraising and growth.
