Description

Finding the right donors for your organization shouldn’t feel like a guessing game. "Matchmaker, Matchmaker" is a foundational, hands-on workshop designed to take the mystery out of fundraising and donor discovery. Participants will start by exploring annual fund 101 concepts, learning how consistent, grassroots support builds the sustainable engine your mission relies on. Rather than chasing cold leads, we will shift our focus to the power of relationships. You will learn to map your organizational "sphere of influence," starting with your inner circle—like board members, staff, and loyal volunteers—and use peer-to-peer introductions to grow your network outward. Finally, you will put these concepts into immediate action through a practical donor prospect worksheet activity. You will leave this workshop with a live, prioritized list of ranked prospects and a clear roadmap to turn warm introductions into lasting partnerships.
