Donor circles are now recognised as a specific fundraising strategy able to be used by all arts organisations, in many different situations. They are simple, cost effective, powerful and sustaining. They can also provide a terrific way to engage your board in the fundraising process and will even recruit the help of your most engaged supporters to help you grow philanthropic support.

This 40-minute webinar introduces you to the concept of fundraising using donor circles. Your presenter, James Boyd, has mentored the development of many donor circles across the arts, from regional clients to major companies. Using examples, James will lay out the general theory and practice of donor circles putting you in a position to launch your first donor circle the very next day. There will be an opportunity to discuss the strategy and ask questions during the session.
