Meeting - "When You're the New Guy - Change it up for Long Term Success!"

When:  Aug 24, 2022 from 12:00 PM to 01:00 PM (ET)
Associated with  AFP OH, Northwest Chapter
Presented by: Robin Guidera, Director of Development and Communications - The Cocoon

Meeting Overview:
When I joined The Cocoon in October of 2018, I was faced with the challenges that many small non-profits with one-person fundraising shops face. As a very young organization, much of the concentration had been on securing high-dollar, federal grants to support programming, services, and an emergency safe shelter rather than building and stewarding a sustainable private donor base.  Kathy Mull, our Executive Director knew that needed to change.

Topics explored in this presentation:
  • Playing the "new guy" card
  • Making the thanks personal
  • Making communication with all donors a priority
  • Changing it up, just because it has always been done that way doesn't mean it should be
