Workshop Bundle: A 3-Part Virtual Workshop Series on Building Resilient Revenue
Deep Dive on Building Resilient Revenue: Storytelling & Strategy | A 3-Part Virtual Workshop Series
Designed for nonprofits ready to strengthen and diversify their funding in a changing landscape, this series will equip your organization with the systems, skills, and confidence to build sustainable, diversified revenue. Across three two-hour virtual sessions, you'll explore how your values anchor your fundraising, how to craft a compelling story that moves donors to act, and how to build a cohesive strategy across individual, institutional, and corporate funding streams.
Each session builds on the last. By the end of the series, participants will leave with two tangible deliverables: a refined fundraising story and a 1-year revenue roadmap ready to put to work.
Session 1: Aligning Values and Readiness Monday, August 18, 2026 | 3–5 PM ET / 12–2 PM PT
Great fundraising starts from the inside out. In this opening session, we'll examine the personal motivations and organizational values that should anchor every ask you make — then assess your internal readiness by taking an honest look at your systems, capacity, and infrastructure. You'll identify both your strengths and the gaps to address before scaling your efforts. Small-group breakouts give you space to pressure-test your thinking with peers facing similar challenges.
Session 2: Storytelling for Fundraising Tuesday, August 25, 2026 | 3–5 PM ET / 12–2 PM PT
Your story is one of your most powerful fundraising tools — but only if it's crafted with intention. Spitfire Strategies will guide you through the art and strategy of mission-driven storytelling, helping you shape a narrative that resonates with donors and compels them to act. You'll move beyond the elevator pitch and build a story rooted in your values, your community's experience, and the impact of your work. You'll leave with a draft story to refine before Session 3.
Session 3: Building Diverse Funding Streams Tuesday, September 1, 2026 | 3–5 PM ET / 12–2 PM PT
With your values grounded and your story sharpened, it's time to build your funding strategy. This closing session examines three critical revenue streams — individual giving, institutional partnerships, and corporate engagement — and helps you approach each with authenticity and alignment. You'll practice using your story as the foundation for donor asks, explore how to position your organization as a true partner to funders, and complete a planning exercise to begin building your cohesive, sustainable 1-year revenue roadmap.
