Collaborative Capital Campaign Workshop 1: Making Your Case!
Parishes participating in the Collaborative Capital Campaign process are asked to join this first workshop to begin to draft your Case for Support. This is the primary tool that will be used to engage donors and achieve your vision! Learn what to say and how to say it in a compelling and faithful way. Come away with clear next steps on this capital fundraising journey. Participating parishes must send at least one representative leader. Ideal participants include your Capital Campaign Chair(s), Wardens, Vestry members, and Clergy. This workshop is offered twice for scheduling ease. Please register by October 1. We can’t wait to help you get started!
