How are donor workshops managed through Miser Wealth Partners?
Our team is there every step of the way assisting your charitable organization in the following areas of donor workshops to help ensure their success:
- Identify workshop objectives: We help define the specific objectives of the donor workshops based on your organization’s fundraising goals. Our advisors determine the knowledge and skills you want to impart to participants, such as understanding donor motivations, effective donor stewardship practices, or strategies for cultivating donor relationships.
- Develop workshop content: We’ll take care of designing the workshop curriculum that addresses the identified objectives. We’ll create engaging and interactive sessions that include presentations, case studies, group discussions, and practical exercises, while also incorporating real-life examples and success stories to make the content relatable and actionable.
- Determine workshop format: Deciding on the format of the donor workshops based on the size of the non-profit organization, the target audience, and available resources is imperative. We’ll help you analyze options like in-person workshops, virtual webinars, or hybrid formats that combine both online and offline elements. We’ll also determine the ideal duration for the workshops, keeping in mind participants’ availability.
- Select presenters and facilitators: Our team will identify knowledgeable presenters and facilitators who can effectively deliver the workshop content. These include individuals with expertise in fundraising, donor relations, or nonprofit management. Additionally, we’ll consider inviting experienced board members, successful fundraisers, or guest speakers who can share their insights and experiences.
- Create workshop materials: Preparing workshop materials, including handouts, worksheets, and reference guides, to support participants during and after the sessions is key to a successful workshop. We’ll provide practical resources that attendees can use to implement the knowledge gained from the workshops in their fundraising efforts.
- Promote the workshops: Miser Wealth Partners will develop a marketing and communication plan to promote the donor workshops to potential participants, utilizing various channels such as email newsletters, social media platforms, the nonprofit organization’s website, and relevant community networks. We’ll make sure the promotional materials clearly communicate the value proposition and benefits of attending the workshops to attract interest.
- Set up the registration process: Our Charitable Advisory Group will establish a streamlined registration process for interested participants utilizing online registration platforms or forms to collect necessary information and manage attendee lists. This will include setting a deadline for registration to ensure adequate time for logistics planning.
- Plan logistics: We’ll arrange the necessary logistics for the workshops, such as securing suitable venues (if applicable), coordinating technical requirements for virtual workshops, and ensuring the availability of audiovisual equipment, if needed. This will entail factors like seating arrangements, refreshments, and accessibility for all attendees.
- Deliver engaging workshops: Following the developed curriculum and agenda, we’ll help conduct the donor education workshops with the aim of creating an engaging learning environment by encouraging participation, incorporating interactive activities, and allowing ample time for questions and discussions. This will foster a collaborative atmosphere where attendees can learn from each other’s experiences.
- Gather feedback and follow up: Collecting feedback from workshop participants to assess the effectiveness of the sessions and identify areas for improvement will help improve any future workshops. We’ll provide post-workshop resources, such as summaries of key learnings or additional reference materials and follow up with attendees to address any further questions or provide additional support.
