An effective and comprehensive advancement program depends on gifts officers who can cultivate, solicit and steward prospects. Good major gift work merges the art of relationships with the science of understanding the donor base and working with the right prospects at the right times to encourage major gifts. The best gift officers combine strong relationship skills with the practice of listening, being prepared, understanding donors, and timing.
Join Gonser Gerber for this one-day virtual workshop which allows participants the opportunity to learn the skills and thinking needed to be successful gift officers.
This virtual workshop is designed for development and advancement staff members who are responsible for direct solicitations of prospects and donors. This could include major, planned, senior, leadership, and annual fund gift officers. We also invite team members who aspire to make direct solicitations, staff members who support or supervise the work of gift officers and want to know more about the role, or institutional leaders who have solicitations as part of their job description.
Gonser Gerber Institute workshops allow you the opportunity to work with experienced faculty, learn from your peers, and offer you the tools you need to develop work plans that will help you drive increased productivity in your role. Join us for this program to refresh your skills, learn new techniques, explore what your peers are doing, and provide you with the time to enhance your program.
