New Service Announced

We are excited to offer a new service, by popular demand, The Fundraiser’s Personal Muse™. We believe every fundraiser needs a source of support and inspiration, so we will be offering a limited number of memberships in this new service, which will allow you personal access by phone and email to one of the profession’s most knowledgeable and experienced fundraisers. See our website for more details. To sign up go to http://www.cvfundraising.com/muse.

Coming to the AFP Leadership Conference in Las Vegas?

If you are planning to attend the AFP Leadership Conference in Las Vegas this Sept 30-Oct 2, we have good news for you. First, Advantage Consulting and Capital Venture™ are holding a free workshop, Seven Ways to Ask for a Gift, on Thursday Sept 30 from 8:00 AM to 12 Noon at Advantage Consulting. Register here Linda@cvfundraising.com.

Second, our free 30 minute consulting offers at the Baltimore conference were so popular we’ve decided to extend them during the Leadership Conference. If you would like to schedule a free 30 minute consulting sometime during the Leadership Conference or on Monday, October 3, please email Linda at Linda@cvfundraising.com. After all, who couldn't use a good excuse to stay in Vegas an extra day? You can use this free consulting time to talk about your development plan, board issues, your career, or if you have a book idea or would like to present a webinar in  the Capital Venture™/CharityUniversity™, bring your ideas along.
