Raise More Money For Your Organization Through The Magic of Grassroots Fundraising

This training will help you develop an integrated grassroots fundraising approach for your organization through communications, technology and organizing. Progressive Technology Project has been working with grassroots organizations nationally to help them use technology in an effective and integrated manner for a dozen years. We've learned from the field and we want to share the stories of successful fundraising.

We will show examples of how a CRM database is a platform that can boost fundraising for grassroots groups through a limited-duration, multichannel, all-hands-on-deck technique we call a "Sprint Fundraising Campaign".

Not long ago, we worked with El Pueblo in North Carolina they wanted to raise $15,000 in 5 days! They had only been using PowerBase for a few days. Together, we went to work. We set up PowerBase and customized their contribution and email templates. They trained with us on PowerBase. The result? They raised the $17,000!

We've seen grassroots groups raising $20,000 to $45,000 through 7-10 days of intensive and well-prepared effort. How did they do it? Planning, messaging, training and incorporating their staff, base, and allies. Sprint Fundraising Campaigns have these features that can apply generally to grassroots fundraising.  

We'll cover:

  • Sprint Fundraising Campaigns
  • Communications for Fundraising
  • Different Ways of Fundraising: Which types are more effective for your organization?
  • Integrating Your Organizing, Communications, Technology and Fundraising
  • Creating Reports and Using Dashboards

The first day will cover the concepts and best practices and will not be database specific; the second day will zero in on PowerBase and CiviCRM techniques. This registration is for people attending the both days. If you want to attend only the first day, go to this registration page.

There will be built-in time for consultation with our training team on your specific questions.
