The Advanced Executives Breakfast Forums are sponsored by Campbell & Company.

This program will focus on how to work through potential conflicts or confusion when an organization is trying to secure both annual fund contributions as well as capital campaign gifts.  Discussions will address such tactics as the “double ask” and how to educate volunteers, staff and prospects on how to distinguish the impact various gifts can have on the organization.  Look for more details on this program soon.

In 2008, AFP/DC will present “Integrating Development into your Organization’s Ongoing Life and Culture” – a three part series that explores fundraising from a variety of angles.  The forums will explore ways that staff and volunteers can effectively incorporate sound fundraising principles and tactics into many aspects of their organization’s work.  Each Forum will be a morning-long program, beginning with breakfast and ending at noon.
