The Olympic View Community Foundation is hosting a special fundraising training entitled: “Raising Money — More and Better” presented by Dr. Stuart Grover, an inspiring fundraising consultant, from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Thursday, March 26, in the Peninsula College Keegan Lecture Hall.

In October 2014, Grover, through the Secretary of State’s Charities Advisory Council, presented a full day workshop on “Ethics of Fundraising.” This presentation was so popular there were multiple requests for another opportunity to hear him speak.

In this year’s interactive and wide-ranging presentation, participants will hear about how to identify and cultivate your best prospects, how to turn event attendees into major donors and how to work with your fellow organizations to grow the philanthropic pie.

This full-day session includes discussion and group activities designed to help apply the training to one’s organization.

Grover, presenter and discussion leader, has been involved in fundraising since 1982 and built the region’s largest fundraising consulting firm after purchasing the Seattle-based Collins Group in 1990.

Working with more than 400 nonprofits throughout the Northwest, Grover gained a reputation for original thinking and a quirky sense of humor. He has served on many boards and received Group Health’s Cooperative Achievement Award in 2011. He received NDOA’s Professional Achievement Award, has published two books and many articles on fundraising and currently serves as chairman of the Secretary of State’s Charities Advisory Council.

The cost of the training is $100. This includes up to three representatives from each organization and lunch.

Registrants must be a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit and priority will be given to those who have participated in any of the previous three workshops sponsored in part by Olympic View Community Foundation in the past year.
