Wanna Learn How to Raise Money?

Haven of Hope Toledo Inc. is the name of the non-profit organization we created last winter. Because we're a start-up organization with no full time paid director, we need all kinds of help raising and sustaining funding. Especially in this economically challenging environment. That's why I've invited the good folks from Benevon to come to Toledo and teach us how they do it!!!

They will be here Thursday March 12 from 9-11am. I've already reserved 12 spots for my friends at Haven of Hope, but I was hoping some of you would attend too! Here's why: "The Benevon Model forced us to pay close attention to relationship building and donor recognition. The results have been outstanding—our donors feel valued and connected to our mission."—Laura Tweed, Director of Development, Immanuel Christian School, Springfield, VA

SO please consider this your personal invitation join us! Come learn how to "missionize" your ordinary events. The class [offered in Toledo, Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati] is free, but registration through the Benevon website is required.
