We all need more donors. And we can see many potential donors on the fringes of our organisation. But something seems to stand in the way of that first donation. Research tells us that telling a compelling story and connecting on a deeper level is the key to success. US fundraising superstars Tammy Zonker and Tom Ahern will demonstrate the need and know-how of masterful storytelling to turn these doubters into long term donors.

This seminar is ideal for

Fundraising professionals, Executives, Artistic Directors, Board members and CEOs to develop their fundraising knowledge within the Australian arts and cultural sector.
