Fund Development Workshops for SSAC - Session 2

We are excited to invite you to an incredible opportunity to become a skilled fundraiser for SSAC! Our organization is hosting a FREE, high-energy, and interactive 5-day workshop series that will teach you everything you need to know about fundraising. The workshops will be led by Glenn Coulson, our Fund Development Coordinator, who will guide you through each session with expert insights, practical tools, and engaging exercises.

What you can expect:

Session 2: How Can I Handle a 'No' and Turn It Into an Opportunity?
Goal: Learn how to navigate rejection, understand donor objections, and keep relationships open for future support.

Key Concepts:
• A "no" doesn't mean never—it often means "not right now."
• The best fundraisers listen more than they talk—objections are often hidden
opportunities.
• Follow-up is your superpower—many donors need multiple touchpoints before they give.

Date: Friday, May 16
Time: 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM

Daily themes focusing on building confidence, overcoming fears, and applying practical techniques in fundraising for SSAC. An opportunity to grow personally while helping SSAC achieve its mission. This is your chance to learn key concepts in fundraising and actively contribute to SSAC's growth.
