Presentation Summary: Does your fundraising program need more funding itself? Of course it does. But it can be a challenge convincing your board and finance department to shake loose some of those coins from the couch cushions. Join us for this empowering discussion about crafting the right pitch for your audience. You’ll discover how to use hard numbers to appeal to the number-crunchers and present big ideas to hook the visionaries. And you’ll see how to track your success so that you can turn a one-off investment into robust program growth. Finance departments, boards, and the C-suite speak different languages, and if you don't learn them, you're selling yourself short. You can do it. We can help.

Learning Objectives:

  • Structure investment decks, pitches, and proposals to win internal investment
  • Tailor projects and programs to appeal to the different audiences who'll need to approve them
  • Set goals and track your investment projects to turn them into a permanent budget for your program
