Online fundraising has made it easier to raise money to support your cause at anytime, anywhere. But if the possibilities are endless, why do so many of us feel disappointed when all of our efforts amount to very little?

This webinar will address why this often happens and the steps you can take to ensure your fundraising efforts run more smoothly and successfully. This includes understanding the necessary prep work, the importance of relationship building, social media implementation, and other considerations.

Panelists will share strategies they have adopted, challenges they have overcome, and success stories.

If you are unable to attend, please register and we will send the link to the slide presentation and recording after the event concludes.
