Becoming a Big Idea Organization
Tim Shaw, THINK Together
Most nonprofit mission statements describe almost herculean aspirations--ending homelessness, curing disease, stopping child abuse. Too often, however, the tactics employed to pursue these lofty aspirations aren't nearly as grand. Big problems and big missions require big solutions. And big solutions require big ideas. But how? How can your organization enact processes and systems that gear the culture toward the generation, implementation and sustainability of big ideas in programming, partnerships, revenue and results? Tim Shaw has been doing this for nearly 25 years and will provide practical information about how you can start realizing your highest aspirations.

Donor-Centered Leadership


How to Build a High-Performance Fundraising Team

In this provocative new address, Penelope tackles one of the not-for-profit sector’s most frustrating and costly problems – the high turnover rate of fundraisers. Backed by four years of research with more than 16,000 professional fundraisers, CEOs, Board members and donors, Donor-Centered Leadership offers surprising statistical evidence about why good fundraisers – both professional and volunteer – move on prematurely and what it will take to keep them on the job longer and working productively. In plain language, Penelope shows employers how they can easily measure the real cost of premature staff turnover and the financial benefits of bringing this pressing problem under control.

 This address is not just for employers and decision-makers. Donor-Centered Leadership reveals what will inspire longer tenure among young fundraisers. Penelope illustrates a compelling case for helping them gain experience and realize their goals more quickly in order to address the coming exodus of top fundraising managers who are already on the verge of retirement.

 Highlights: why fundraisers leave; what makes a great boss; how to hire for long term loyalty; which employee benefits and working conditions really influence staff retention and which simply drain the budget; how to “hire” board members who will raise money; how to use your CEO more effectively; how staff turnover affects donors; what fundraisers need to know before they move from one job to the next.

Engaging the Next Generation
of Philanthropists
Todd Hanson, Orange County Community Foundation

This is a unique time for fundraising professionals.   Never before has there been four generations actively involved in philanthropy at the same time.  We are all now working with Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Gen X and Gen Y (Millenials).  The good news is each generation is philanthropic, however they each have individual preferences for how they are engaged by nonprofits, and to engage with them effectively takes special planning and efforts.  Todd will be sharing tips and suggestions he has learned in his 12 years as VP of Donor and Community Engagement with the Orange County Community Foundation.  You will learn some practical ideas that your organization needs to be aware of to effectively steward multiple generations of philanthropists.

The importance of creating your overall development Philosophies and Strategies.

How to create policies and procedures for gift acceptance, gift processing, donor recognition, privacy, confidentiality, prospect/donor research and why every NPO must have them.

What should be included in a Case for Support and how to create one.

Creating or enhancing your major gift program with a systematic approach to a Donor Contact Plan

Why you need a Monthly Giving program and how to create one.

Small, But Mighty

Developing a Major Gifts Program in a Small Fundraising Shop

A small shop often has big fundraising requirements. 

Your budget and resources aren’t the same as the big organizations.

Your shop may be called upon to work harder and longer than a full fundraising staff or department – and still be asked to produce some high volume results.

How do you manage it all?  How does the small shop make a big impact?

Our February Fundamentals is all about how to be Small, But Mighty.

Catherine Spear will lead you through best practices for small shops, including Smarter, Not Harder, Seven Things Never to Do in a Small Shop and The Art of Leverage.

Let’s Talk about “Ethics”

The accountable fundraiser has many roles and responsibilities: We are committed to observe professional practice guidelines in cultivating, soliciting and stewarding donors and volunteers for our nonprofit organizations. These duties also include following the ethical guidelines embodied in the AFP Code of Ethical Principles and Standards. So; how are we doing with “Ethics?” This session will examine ethical conduct for our organizations, our boards, our volunteers and supporters, and for us fundraisers. And, to review real ethical issues, we’ll examine a few “ethical dilemmas”.

Our speaker will be our own Jim Greenfield, ACFRE, FAHP, a veteran fundraiser with 40 years experience as a fund development staff member at three colleges and universities and five hospitals and medical centers. Following retirement in 2001 from Hoag Hospital as Executive Director, Hoag Hospital Foundation, Jim continues to serve nonprofits and the fundraising profession with speaking, teaching, volunteering, writing and consulting services. He is the author and editor of several books including “Rights of Donors”, chapter 2 in “Fundraising Ethics: A Guide for Nonprofit Boards and Fundraisers” (Wiley, 2008).

The Role of Special Events
in a Fund Development Plan

What are special event best practices, and how can you make sure your event is a success?


Are your events one part of a broad-based annual fund plan or are they your entire annual fund plan? What are the most effective roles for volunteers, the board, and the staff? How do you find and engage sponsors? How and where do in-kind contributions fit best? If you do not have a budget plan, how to you manage for maximum net return? What ethical issues will you face as you sell and operate your event? And what is different when you are involved in a major event like the Toshiba Classic golf tournament?

Join us for a lively discussion led by Jake Rohrer and Jeff Purser. Jake has 30 years of development experience as a volunteer, board member and staff member for Hoag Hospital Foundation. He is now retired and does consulting and coaching for clients of Executive Service Corps and The Olin Group.
