This 3-day workshop combines lectures, case studies, class discussions and interactive exercises to develop and apply the fundraising strategies and skills necessary to start-up or build your organization’s contributed revenue.

H2Growth Strategies LLC principals Linda C. Hartley (MBA, Stern School-NYU) and Vivien Hoexter (MBA, Wharton School-UPENN) will conduct the workshop. The H2Growth Strategies team has partnered with over 100 non-for-profit organizations to raise over $ 1.5 billion to advance, support and sustain their programs and projects.

Hoexter and Hartley have co-authored a new book, Big Impact: Insights & Stories From America’s Non-Profit Leaders, after interviewing nearly 50 non-profit CEOs from across the United States, including international foundations such as the Ford Foundation and Rockefeller Brothers Fund. The authors share successful strategies for leadership, large-scale problem solving, and social change to inspire readers to lead and support causes in their own communities.
