Plenary
In this session, Emily and Liesl will take the mystery out of major gift fundraising. We’ll look at the theory and practice behind major gifts: who are these elusive major donors, why do they part with large sums of money, and most importantly how do we secure these gifts for our institutions? Participants will come away with an understanding of the basics of major gifts work and some practical ideas to take back to their institutions.
