Fundraisers everywhere know the saying well: “No money, no mission and donors hold the key…” Donor prospects are the lifeblood of nonprofit fundraising. Given that only about 40% of donors make repeat gifts, it is critical to maintain a pipeline of funding prospects.
So, how do you find potential donors with the need, interest, shared values, and passion for your cause? In other words, where are the people that love your work but just haven’t met you yet?
Identifying people and groups to support your organization does not need to be difficult. Join us for this informative training where you will learn what it takes to identify and prioritize the best potential supporters for your organization and fill your donor pipeline. This workshop will help you gain the confidence and skill to identify people and groups who have the greatest probability of saying “yes” to your requests for support.
Facilitated by Meredith Terrian, Certified Cause Selling Trainer, Fundraising Academy at National University.
This workshop is brought to you in partnership with Dr. Bronner’s and San Diego Gives.

Lee and Toni were lifelong entrepreneurs with a passion for innovation and for supporting talent. They believed that only with big risk comes big reward. Both born to families in poverty, Toni to a single mother, they strongly believed in helping those most in need and most vulnerable in our community. While they supported many causes, their strongest support was for young children and the elderly, two demographics who particularly lack voice in our society.

You would think that as the executive director of San Diego LGBT Pride, Fernando Zweifach López Jr., who uses the pronoun they, has done all the coming out they possibly can. A queer, non-binary individual who has worked for many years on civil rights issues, López also speaks openly and often about their father’s family, Mexican-American migrant workers who tilled the fields of rural California.
