Two Fundraisers Walk into a Bar: Using Improv Skills to Improve Your Fundraising
Storytelling has become an in-demand skill for successful fundraisers. Learn how to use the fundamental (and fun) rules of improvisational comedy to make your school's case for support come alive for donors. Join a professional improv performer (who moonlights as the chair of Newark Academy's Arts Department) and NA's chief fundraising officer for a lively session that provides insight into the brain science behind storytelling as well "take home" skills for telling your school's story in a way that guarantees donor engagement and larger gifts.
Elaine Brodie, Chair, Arts Department; and Lisa Grider, Assistant Head of School for External Affairs, Newark Academy
