June workshop: "Build a Major Gifts Program"
We've all been there.
The boss (or board) hands down a wildly unrealistic fundraising goal and it's your job to meet it.
And here you are, not even 100% sure how to successfully solicit a gift.
Do you start calling your biggest donors? What do you say? How do you even get your foot in the door for a meeting?
In this workshop you'll learn how to figure out how much you can realistically raise, what donors to focus on, and how much to ask from each donor.
Worried about objections?
Don't sweat it! You'll learn how to overcome those too!
Join me at 11 am CST /12 noon EST on Thursday, June 26 to build a thriving portfolio of donors in just over an hour. Can’t make it live? No worries! As soon as the workshop wraps you’ll have immediate access to the workshop and workbook.

Who am I and why should you listen to me?
My name is Rachel Muir and I am just as passionate about making the world a better place as you are.
I’ve started and run my own nonprofit, raised over 10 million and was featured on Oprah, CNN and the Today show.
It took a lot of inspiration and a truck-load of guts to get to where I am today.
I have helped thousands of fundraisers land big gifts, delight their donors, and love their jobs…all because I use proven systems and methods. Because nobody wants theory!

You'll get so much out of every session and all the materials that Rachel provides. They're available for you to go back and review and use no matter what time of year. This is an investment I never let my Board try to cut from our budget!!
Laurie McConnell, Director of Community & Systems at Pacific Wild
If you're doing Rachel's program, unsubscribe from almost everything else. You will get everything you need in this program! I took on fundraising this year and tried a range of webinars, programs and conferences, and Rachel's program is BY FAR the most productive and useful program.
Jennifer Charpentier, Executive Director Gateway Technical College Foundation
I appreciate how Rachel breaks concepts and tactics into manageable bits. I always feel like "oh, I can do this" after one of her workshops.

The first commitment from the first person I asked (using all the amazing Rachel Muir strategies, skills, protocol, and dreamy ways of making asking for money fun) was for $10,000!!!
Joanne Morrell, President Impact! Marketing Group
I'm thrilled to have found Rachel, and it's definitely worth your time. Whether you are just starting out, or are a seasoned professional, Rachel brings important reminders, best practices and stellar insight to the table. Amidst my busy schedule, this is something I LOOK FORWARD TO!

We’ve never participated in Giving Tuesday but I was able to use your Giving Tuesday matching template and found a $2,500 sponsor!
It's amazing! I always leave with at least a few great nuggets of knowledge and tips I can use right away! Additionally, it's easy CFRE credit that I can get during my workday! Win-win!
