SCHEDULE + FACILITATE + FOLLOW UP + SCALE

Welcome to Donor Visits 2.0

I'm 25 years into my career as a happy fundraiser-turned-educator, coach, and course creator.

One thing I know FOR SURE is that the way we talk about donor visits is based on what worked decades ago. Not what's actually working today.

Philanthropy is changing FAST--the big training companies can't keep up. So I created this course myself. I teach what's relevant, effective, and equitable today because we don't have time for the industry to catch up.

You are poised to make a positive impact on the world while building a rewarding career and I'm so here for it.

Let's work together. Add your name to the waitlist and let's go. :)

Donor Visits 2.0 REDEFINES "Visit" to Truly Effective Gift Conversation

Face-to-face visits are not the gold standard they used to be.

It doesn't matter where or when these conversations take place.

We need open, honest, productive conversations with solid follow-through.

We deserve to like our jobs and feel comfortable in our own skin.

We need to manage huge portfolios without a ton of stress.

Why Cohort Based Courses?

I pretty much stopped REALLY learning things when the pandemic forced us to live over Zoom. I wanted better for myself--and for my students.
Cohort-based courses allow me to be super engaged with you. It's a two-way learning experience.
I LOVE connecting awesome colleagues with one another. You'll meet people who you adore and who will help you future-proof your career (and vice-versa)
The fast pace is bliss for people with short attention spans (like most development officers!)
I love that I can support you asynchronously as well. You'll watch videos and have reading assignments between classes, and you can tackle those when your schedule allows.

COURSE OUTCOMES:

Secure truly effective donor conversations (what we used to call “visits”);

Set the table for open, honest conversation focused on philanthropy;

Facilitate outcomes-based convos to optimize that time with donors;

Follow-up with a strong call to action and accountability;

Scale these steps to your whole portfolio.

A PREVIEW OF MY APPROACH TO DONOR VISITS

THIS IS FOR YOU IF:

You work on metrics

It's a struggle to book your calendar with visits

You have good visits, but your proposals are lagging

Your follow up is more like a series of pings

You're awesome at working with one donor at a time....

but you have a big portfolio

YOU'RE BURNED OUT

FAQ

What is a Cohort Based Course and Why Should I Care?

The power of cohort-based courses lies in the accountability, live interactions, small group learning via breakout rooms, chat, silent writing, avalanches, popcorn, and everything other than me droning at you. I facilitate lots of "state changes" to keep things clipping along and avoid Zoom Zombie effect. I cannot even tell you how much I adore my besties from cohort-based courses I've taken myself! I graduated from Wes Kao's Accelerator program--MAVEN--in October along with 120 other elite experts in our fields. Maven is the epicenter of research on how adults really learn. I was trained by the best in the business.

Will My Employer Reimburse Me? Probably!

It's likely. Here is a form you can use to request reimbursement:

Can I Watch the Replays Instead of Attending?

This is TBD, but the magic of a cohort based course is in group interaction. We don't recommend planning to take this as an asynchronous course.

Can I Get 1:1 Support from Anne?

I'm happy to do brief 1:1check ins with my students! Deeper work is via the Empower Hour program.

Is There a Guarantee?

Yes. If you show up authentically and put in the effort, and you are unsatisfied with your outcomes, we'll talk about next steps. I may offer you 1:1 time, supplementary information, invitations to co-working sessions or a refund. We'll work together on this.

Space is limited in each cohort.
