Event Details


For the fundraiser, the volunteer or board member who has to juggle 10,000 different things – all while being responsible for raising money to continue your awesome programs and services – it can be a bit overwhelming. So, let’s learn a few tangible tips and tricks on how to get back to doing what you do well: building awesome relationships with supporters and donors, rather than fill your day with “other duties as assigned.”


Instead of a complicated system that requires too much brain power and not enough actionable items, we’ll build a simple and easy to understand framework to organize your fundraising life.


One thing. Once a day. 5 Days a week. I’ve creatively called it “The 5 Day Fundraising Framework.”


Does this work for folks who are in the major donations and legacy gift world? You bet.


In this session, we’ll help nonprofit leaders get clarity on what is important and simplify your work to make this fundraising job as awesome as it can be.


By the end of this one-hour workshop, you’ll learn:

  • How to think differently about organizing your time at work

  • Tricks to planning the highest priority meetings

  • Doing rather than waiting until perfection

  • Documenting important donor information

  • The importance of celebrating with your supporters & team

  • Reminders on how appreciation is key to donor retention

All registrants will receive a recording and copy of the presentation slides after the workshop. Instrumentl is also offering every live attendee personalized grant recommendations for their nonprofit.

This presentation is ideal for grant writers and consultants that work with or for organizations with small teams and seeking to increase productivity and leveraging their human and financial capital to find, write, submit, and manage grants!

NOTE: Instrumentl helps US-based 501c3s with at least a 90K operating budget, or consultants supporting such clients. If you are based internationally, you must have a US-affiliated chapter and 501c3 status to find this workshop helpful.

Patrick Kirby is the Founder of Do Good Better Consulting, author of the Amazon best seller Fundraise Awesomer! A Practical Guide to Staying Sane While Doing Good, host of The Official Do Good Better Podcast, and a believer that “we’ve always done it this way” is the most dangerous phrase in the English language.

Patrick has spent nearly 2 decades working as a fundraiser in the nonprofit industry, for organizations of all shapes and sizes, most notably as the Senior Director of Development at the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in Minneapolis, MN and the Chief Development Officer at the Anne Carlsen Center, based in Jamestown, ND.

He earned his B.A. in “B.S.” (politics) at Loras College in Dubuque, IA, and is hopelessly addicted to super nerdy Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels and old school Nintendo games. Patrick married out of his league to his wife Shannon, has three ridiculously adorable children named Spencer, Preston and Willow, a puppy named Calvin, and lives in West Fargo, ND.

Don’t delay, save your spot in this grant workshop today.
