Are you tired of hearing these phrases?  

  •   “Our board is not a fundraising board;” 
  •   “We ask but we never hear back;” 
  •   “Our CEO/Volunteers/Staff cultivate but will not get to the ask;” 
  •   “Our organization is funded by special event givers and corporate sponsorships; how can we ask them to give on top of that?” 

Now you can help answer those objections. Come learn from our own Laura Fredricks how a carefully crafted conversation can turn the tables and expedite any conversation into an ASK that THEY make, not you! 

Please Note: This event is available for AFP-NYC Members Only. 

This event is now full. You can sign up for the waitlist. AFP-NYC staff will contact you a day before the event if a space has been made available.
