Planned Giving 2.0...’The Talk’
Wednesday, June 27
Development and non-profit leaders often have a good understanding of the basics of planned giving. Unfortunately, oftentimes donors, board members, and passionate advocates for our organizations are never asked to consider supporting our work through a planned gift. In many ways, inviting the right donor to make a planned gift is far easier than asking for an annual or sponsorship gift...yet it never feels that way. Why do we struggle with the planned giving ask? 

Getting to Know Your Board Members
Dawn Nowakowski
National Philanthropy Day Chair
The AFP Northeast Wisconsin Board is comprised of 18 hardworking and dedicated fundraisers. Dawn is the one working to make this year’s National Philanthropy Day event the best one yet!

Last Day to Register is June 6!
The 2-day class formerly known as CFRE Review has been given a make-over and renamed CFRE Refresher Course! Join other fund development professionals to hone your fundraising skills in preparation for new job opportunities or for taking the CFRE Exam. Presented by Marcy Heim, The Artful Asker, you will work through caselets with fellow students, learning best practices from across the fund development spectrum.
