A Virtual Learning Series
This live, three-part series will be held from October 22–24, 2024
This highly interactive, three-part virtual professional education series (formerly known as Changing Hearts and Changing Minds) explores an innovative model for engaging an organization’s most significant benefactors in co-creating philanthropic opportunities that are transformational for all parties involved. Building on Advancement Resources’ donor-focused approach and based on work implemented by Jim Hodge and Scott Arthur on the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, this series prepares participants to inspire gifts of significance, invigorate staff, and transform how their organization thinks and works.
Ideal for development leaders, principal giving professionals, and experienced major giving professionals who aspire to meaningfully engage, inspire, and co-create with benefactors. Participants will leave with a renewed sense of purpose, as well as specific strategies, tactics, processes, and tools for working with benefactors and internal stakeholders to facilitate transformational “Campaigns of One.”
“I had the pleasure of participating in the workshop in September of 2019 and still remember talking with Scott and Jim about a benefactor with whom I needed help changing my mindset. Thanks to what I learned from the experience, that same benefactor committed an eight-figure gift to our mission last month (February 2021). I’m so grateful for the opportunity!”
