Webinars & Speaking Engagements

 

Are you always on the lookout for quality professional development and fundraising training for your nonprofit members or clients? Look no further!​

​

If you’re a nonprofit-serving organization, Donor Boom is here to help. 

 

We actively look for opportunities to help strengthen the nonprofit fundraising sector, and frequently partner with organizations like yours to train the fundraising community how to use data to ignite generosity.  Led by Sari McConnell (CFRE, MBA), our professional development sessions are frequently praised by participants as being “super clear” and “totally fresh”. Each webinar includes a take-home PDF worksheet so participants can apply what they learn long after the session ends.

​

Our webinars are consistently the top-attended programs of the year among the organizations that have repeatedly invited us to speak. (Bloomerang, Peninsula Education Foundation Association, Thrive Alliance, various Association of Fundraising Professionals chapters, and others).

 

And the best part? Our live webinars are FREE. One of Donor Boom's core values is to help nonprofit professionals build their internal capacity to be great fundraisers, and we've found this is one of the most powerful ways to do that.
