The Fundamentals of Healthcare Development
This fast-paced, fundamental workshop focuses on the basic elements of healthcare philanthropy and the role of development in a healthcare organization. This workshop reviews major areas of healthcare development, including: major, planned, and annual giving; capital campaigns; policies; finance; marketing; and many other topics. The workshop is highly recommended for those new to healthcare development (with less than five years experience), and for support staff and board members who need to understand the elements of healthcare development.
The Development Primer will be available as an on-demand online course in spring 2021, and will be offered in-person at the 2021 AHP Annual International Conference in Boston, on October 20-22.
