SUMMARY:January Professional Development: Prospect Research
DESCRIPTION:January Professional Development | Prospect Research\nThe recording of this program is available via YouTube HERE. \nThe slides for this presentation are available for download HERE. \nDespite what the big vendors may want you to believe\, basic prospect research can be done on a budget of absolutely nothing at all. Prospect research relies on information that is by definition public\, and there’s more of it than you might realize! In this session\, we’ll go step-by-step through a basic prospect profile template to learn about freely available resources to fill in each area. Bring your Google-fu\, your curiosity\, and any burning question you’ve ever had about prospect research! \n\n \nPresented by Rachael Walker \nRachael Dietrich Walker joined the prospect research team at Cornell University in July 2022 after four years as the Director of Prospect Development at Western Carolina University\, where she was a shop of one doing a little bit of everything in prospect development\, analytics\, and database work. She was previously the Director of Prospect Development and Analytics at the UNC System Office\, where she built a shared services program to provide prospect research support to the UNC system’s emerging campuses. She holds an MLIS from UNC-Greensboro and a BA from the University of Richmond.\nRegister

SUMMARY:Why a Gift Acceptance Policy Saves Embarrassment and Reduces Confusion
DESCRIPTION:February Professional Development | Why a Gift Acceptance Policy Saves Embarrassment and Reduces Confusion\nThe recording of this program is available HERE. \nThe slides for this program are available for download HERE. \n  \nEvery not for profit no matter what its size needs a gift acceptance policy. \nWhy? \nTo protect you from having to receive gifts you don’t want (are there such things???? Yes!!!) and to ensure the donor is aware of your organization’s values. \nOur Zoom session will cover such topics as what are our organizations’ blues? How do I discover them and who codifies them? What is an example of a gift I don’t want? Are there such things as gifts we do prefer? \nWe will cover “CYA” or OUT clauses that give the organization freedom to accept a restricted gift that can be converted to other uses (How many scholarships for students from the Western Reserve of America who study organ and harpsichord does your organization need???) \nAnd we will discuss the possibility of returning a gift and under what circumstances. \n\n \nPresented by Annie Fritschner\, ACFRE \nAnnie Fritschner\, ACFRE has been president of the WNC AFP Chapter and serves on the AFP Global Foundation Board for America. She has worked in all aspects of fundraising and development and is a super fan of the new generation of professional fundraisers.\nRegister
