ArtSupport NL Stream 2 is a new stream of this program, designed for organizations who want to improve their fundraising practices but don’t have the organizational capacity for intensive bi-weekly coaching. This program helps participants make focused strategic changes to various areas of an organization’s fundraising work in order to amplify and streamline the fundraising work already being done.
This work will be led by Cindy Wagman, CEO of The Good Partnership, a small Canadian firm focused on helping small nonprofits do more with less. Read our Spotlight on Partnership with Cindy for a preview of what participants can expect.
