Empowerment Dialogue One-Day Laboratory
This one-day workshop will teach you how to use the powerful Empowerment Dialogue approach to solicit planned and major gifts from donors. Participants are expected to fully participate in a day of learning the actual language of successful fundraising solicitation, and must be willing to publicly role play dialogues being a fundraiser and a donor. The Laboratory approach will involve trying, testing, experimenting, practicing, and discovering in a unique way to learn this approach to soliciting gifts.

- The actual language to use with donors to successfully solicit gifts
- How to implement the Empowerment Dialogue approach with your own donors
- How to ask a donor for a planned or major gift immediately
Fundraisers, gift planners, board members, and anyone else with an interest in learning how to ask donors for a major or planned gift are encouraged to attend.
