Charityhowto.com webinar

explores peer-to-peer fundraising

Nonprot resources website Charityhowto.com

will host a webinar titled “How to Maximize Your

Peer-to-Peer and Community Fundraising” on July

1 and July 8 at 3:00 PM ET.

According to organizers, peer-to-peer fundrais-

ing—also known as person-to-person or commu-

nity fundraising—is a great way to tap into your

existing and potential networks, online and ofine,

to increase awareness and encourage fundraising for

your nonprot.

But while communities can be vast and social

networks can be extensive, many fundraisers and

nonprot staffers don’t know where to begin. This

webinar will explore effective and free ways that peer-

to-peer fundraisers are making the most of their time

and resources to nd and keep the supporters who

will make the biggest impact.

The webinar, led by fundraising consultants Simon

Scriver and Nikki Bell, will explore the best methods

of looking for, engaging and working with fundraisers

out in the community. More specically, participants

will learn:

• how to develop a peer-to-peer fundraising plan,

• how to identify and engage companies and

organizations,

• how to identify and engage individuals in the

community and

• how to improve your interpersonal skills to at-

tract fundraisers and volunteers.

Registration fees for this event are $87.

Webinar offers tips

on securing corporate support

Candid will host a webinar titled “Perfect Your

Corporate Partner Prospecting Strategy” on July 23

at 2:00 PM ET.

According to organizers, the webinar—hosted

on the organization’s Grantspace.org platform—is

timely since corporate giving and volunteering have

been on the rise in recent years, as has competition

for corporate grants and other resources. As cor-

porate social responsibility programs become more

strategic, nonprots that craft customized partner-

ship strategies are the most successful in securing

corporate funding.

Especially in light of the changes and challenges

that COVID-19 has wrought upon the charitable

sector, nonprots looking for corporate funding as

a revenue stream have to be more focused and stra-

tegic than ever in their approach. This webinar, led

by Loree Lipstein and Tracy Shaw of fundraising

consultancy Thread Strategies, will cover how to

prospect companies for partnership, build corpo-

rate relationships and design and pitch customized

partnerships that meet the needs and interests of

all parties.

Registration fees for this event are $25.
