October 25th Educational Luncheon & Program
Is your Organization Ready for a Transformational Gift?
A transformational gift is one that will have a major and lasting impact on an organization's ability to fulfill its mission. If you were asked, would you be able to define what kind of gift would be transformational for your organization? And are you ready to share your organization's vision, create a strategic plan and measure and report results to potential donors?
