Meetings and Events


Every month, AFP WNC features opportunities for learning, professional growth, networking and peer recognition. For ten months out of the year, the monthly event is a learning and networking luncheon at the Broadmoor Golf Links located at Exit 40 off of Interstate 26 between Asheville and Hendersonville (download latest luncheon schedule). During the other two months, we host major events. July is the time for our annual Philanthropy Institute, and in November the chapter hosts the National Philanthropy Day awards ceremony.

Telling the Stories That Will Raise More Money

Presenter: Kivi Leroux Miller, President, Nonprofit Marketing Guide

Acclaimed author of the recently released The Nonprofit Marketing Guide:  High-Impact, Low-Cost Ways to Build Support for Your Good Cause.

A great nonprofit story is like a great little black dress: You can use it ten different ways and it’s fresh and engaging every time.  You are surrounded by people who love your cause and behind that love are hundreds of stories.  Your challenge is to find the best ones and use them to inspire others to join your community and to give.

In this session you’ll hear Kivi describe:

  • Where and how to look for the best stories in your current network of supporters
  • How to cure Boring Bio Syndrome and tell stories about real people that are both interesting and inspiring
  • How to use stories to highlight your nonprofit’s personality when you talk with donors
  • How to repurpose one well-written story into many different marketing and fundraising pieces

Kivi writes a leading blog on nonprofit communications and frequently presents highly-rated keynotes and training sessions across the U.S. Through her weekly webinar series, she has helped more than 2,000 nonprofits around the world do smart, savvy marketing with limited resources.

Invite your colleagues who work in marketing and communications and join us for this engaging program.
