AFP - Association of Fundraising Professionals

Every year AFP International honors chapters for achieving goals that align with key objectives in its long-range strategic plan. Chapters receive the Ten Star Award for performing specific activities designed to increase professionalism within fundraising and public awareness of the importance of philanthropy. Last year, less than 50% of AFP Chapters received this prestigious award.

Congratulations to AFP Nebraska and all of its dedicated members!

Who’s Telling YOUR Nonprofit’s Story?

We are natural born storytellers. But all too often, we in the nonprofit world aren’t good at telling our story. This session will equip you to be a master nonprofit storyteller and help you cast your vision and mission in ways people will remember!

You’ll learn:

• the basic components of all compelling stories
• how a trip to the supermarket can help you make your story engaging
• what an “elevator pitch” is and why it can quickly become stale, and
• a really easy way to keep all your communications fresh and “on story.”

About Our Speaker – Marc Pitman

An international nonprofit organizational development consultant and fundraising trainer, Marc A. Pitman is the author of Ask Without Fear! and founder of FundraisingCoach.com, a website dedicated to practical ideas for fundraising more effectively. Because of his dynamic trainings, Marc is invited to speak to organizations like Blackbaud’s Conferences for Nonprofits, Habitat for Humanity International, the New England Association for Healthcare Philanthropy, the Association of Fundraising Professionals, and even the International Bowling Expo. His experience in nonprofit fundraising in many sectors (colleges, prep schools, and healthcare), in executive coaching, and in leadership training has caused him to be featured in books and articles around the world and be sought out as a guest on TV and radio shows including those on NBC, CBS, Fox News, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

Committed to making it ridiculously easy for volunteers and nonprofit staff to get fundraising training, Marc continues to write books and has created fundraising training materials including an entire board-retreat-in-a-box so nonprofit boards will feel confident asking for money.

Marc Pitman’s visit is in conjunction with AMA Lincoln’s Cause Camp. www.lincolnama.com/events/upcoming-events.html/event/2012/02/24/lincoln-ama-s-cause-camp-presented-by-reliant-studios
