Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance

Unleash Your Inner Asker

Carole Haas Gravagno is experienced as a volunteer fundraiser, as a donor and as someone who cares deeply about the work done by the not-for-profit community to strengthen the region.  

 
The workshop facilitators, Andrea Kihlstedt of Asking Matters and Paula Peter of the Ithaca Institute have decades of experience as fundraising consultants working with large and small organizations throughout the country. They will be joined by Carol Wishcamper, an organizational development consultant and philanthropist from Maine. Together, they share a highly experiential approach to learning and an iconoclastic willingness to re-examine existing methods to bring you fresh ideas and approaches to fundraising. 
 
Fundraising is challenging and critical to organizational well-being. The workshop will explore a way to be more effective in asking for money organizations need to carry out their mission.
 
A 50% scholarship rebate (a $162.50 value) will be offered for a limited number of registrants. Scholarships will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis and are limited to two per organization.  
  

Asking! Unleash Your Inner Asker will be offered at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia on Wednesday, March 14, 2012. The day-long workshop that begins with registration at 8:30 a.m. will focus on finding your authentic voice in asking others for donations. This seminar is appropriate for both staff and board members.
