WEBINAR

Moving From Event-Driven to Major Gifts-Oriented Strategy

Based on a popular AHP Huddle discussion thread, AHP is excited to offer a webinar exploring ways several foundations successfully made the transition from a development program centered around special events to one driven by a major gift strategy.

They're so connected to resources that they never had before, and they’ve developed a deeper understanding of what we’re trying to achieve. We want to be a leading edge program, and AHPrime is a big piece of making that possible, worth the investment.”
