EVENT on Wednesday 15th July 2020: Making the Ask: Making the Move (virtual classroom)

Posted by Bianca

This introductory session explores the considerations and steps required to plan your approach to ask for support from a business (also known as corporate fundraising).

Various methods, including group exercises and case studies, will be used to explore the principles and skills needed to "make the ask".

Guest speaker Michelle Dickinson, Head of Philanthropy at South Yorkshire’s Community Foundation, will attend the day and share her experiences of ‘making the ask’ and building relationships with businesses.

So how does it work?

• The session will use Zoom to create a virtual classroom, where presentations and group interactive exercises will take place, just like they do in a traditional classroom
• There will be time to work independently to reflect on the learning in terms of your organisation
• The learning will culminate in participants delivering a 2-minute pitch at the end of the session
• There is even time scheduled for lunch and coffee breaks!

This session will help you:

• Explore the principles and techniques for approaching a business
• Consider mutual benefit, motivations and expectations from both sides
• Find out what a business needs to know about you
• Begin preparing your approach and shaping your ask.
