SUMMARY:February Crafted Conversations
DESCRIPTION:February Crafted Conversations\n\nLet’s love on each other’s work (Valentine’s pun fully intended!)\, because fundraising—at its core—is about relationships. \nThis February Crafted Conversations is all about embodying what makes AFP WNC special: fundraisers supporting fundraisers. Attendees are invited to show up as colleagues—sharing real assets\, offering thoughtful feedback\, and strengthening one another’s work in real time. \nThis is not a critique session. It’s a generous exchange of ideas\, language\, and inspiration\, grounded in our shared commitment to Western North Carolina and the communities we serve. \nThe Ask \nWe invite each participant to bring one fundraising asset they’re willing to share—polished or still in progress—such as: \n\nA donor email or appeal letter\nA sponsorship pitch or flyer\nA social media post or campaign graphic\nA stewardship touchpoint\nA grant narrative excerpt\nA board-facing fundraising tool\n\nPrinted copies or digital versions on a phone or laptop are both welcome. \nCome ready to give encouragement\, borrow inspiration\, and leave with ideas you can actually use. This is what a community of practice looks like—and we can’t wait to share the space with you. \nWe hope you’ll join us at 12 Bones for connection\, collaboration\, and a little fundraiser love. \n\n\nRegistration includes a drink ticket. NA options will be available.\n\nThe event will be held at 12 Bones Smokehouse & Brewing\, 2350 Hendersonville Rd\, Arden\, NC 28704\n\n \nRegister
