Last week, GiveMN’s Senior Fundraising Coach, Cat Clements, and Business Development Associate, Rainah Ward, connected with six organizations during a training session with Mentor North. Cat and Rainah covered how organizations can build compelling stories in their GTMD fundraisers, optimize their fundraising pages, and other key takeaways that help organizations make their Give to the Max Day campaigns as effective as possible (including how to register for #GTMD24: https://lnkd.in/gixFktPE 😉). Thank you to Mentor North for hosting us!
