Annual For Impact Funding Boot Camp

The For Impact Boot Camp is our capstone workshop – held once each year. It’s an intense two days in which help attendees leverage the work we’ve done ‘in the field’ to raise more than $2Billion.
Focused on ‘re-design’, our aim is to help attending organizations put together the big puzzle pieces needed to jumpstart funding or take funding to the next level. Attendees build the skills, knowledge and confidence to build an effective funding engine through major gifts / sales. In order to do that we first back away to work on big issues like vision, message and funding model on day one. Day two drills down on the mechanics of the ask.
The Boot Camp is unlike any other training or workshop. Alumni describe the experience as ‘a catalytic event that transforms organizations… offering practical ideas for immediate benefit but also a foundation for long term change.’ More testimonials.
