About the training<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Charity leaders know that connecting with major donors is about more than dollars raised. It\u2019s about stewarding hearts, stories, and callings, because behind every gift is a journey of generosity waiting to be nurtured. During the event, we’ll watch a 1-hour webinar on shifting from transactional fundraising to transformational relationships. You’ll learn practical ways to align with donor values, foster deeper connection, and invite major donors into a fuller expression of generosity that produces lasting kingdom impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that this webinar is also available to watch on your own at 11 AM on Thursday, April 16<\/a>. Our May 7 gathering will feature the recorded webinar and additional time for live discussion and networking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
