Don’t Miss Our Next Training Event: “How to Fully Fund Your Nonprofit Every Year!”

Any nonprofit looking to grow its large donor base cannot afford to miss this game-changing training program.  Register Today!

The Volunteer Center and the Winnetka-Northfield Chamber of Commerce invite you to a luncheon and a results-based program lead by Sherry Quam Taylor, President of Quam Taylor LLC.  Sherry teaches nonprofit leaders how to shift from small-dollars to investment-level donations.  Working with Sherry, you’ll learn how to confidently prepare and ask for the donations that fully fund your programs and mission every year.

Luncheon and Program
Wednesday, February 12, 2020
11:30-1:30
Kenilworth Assembly Hall
410 Kenilworth Avenue, Kenilworth

Together, we’ll each create a practical step-by-step path to grow your organization’s funding. And she’ll also share the things you might be doing that are keeping larger donors from giving to you. You’ll walk away with hands-on strategies you can use immediately to help you get larger donations.

Sherry’s Results Speak for Themselves…

Sandi was struggling to grow her charitable giving. Working with Sherry she learned the 3 most important things she needed to prepare for solicitations.  After she applied them, her organization’s annual gala grew from $75,000 in 2018 to over $200,000 in 2019.

Bing was struggling to secure and grow larger gifts for her nonprofit. Major corporations gave regularly, but their gifts were relatively small. Using the engagement strategies she learned in Sherry’s program, Bing built relationships with the decision makers. This strategy grew an annual gift from a major financial institution from $5,000 gift to $25,000 the 1st year.

David was faced with the high start-up costs of a Capital Campaign for his new Nonprofit. David knew he had a few large donors in his network, but didn’t have knowledge or experience in asking for large gifts. He invested in Sherry’s LET’S GROW 90-Day program —  and secured a $300,000 lead gift in the first 60 days of the campaign.

…and Sherry’s Clients Sing Her Praises

After years of not really having a solid strategy to increase our donor base or gift dollar amounts, this program has given me the tools, resources, and confidence I have been looking for.  (Kim, Founder and Executive Director of ARTS)

I’ve met or exceeded my fundraising goals while working with Sherry – she’s coached me to successful high 5-figure asks!  (Simone, Executive Director of Naomi’s House)

This program is a game-changer. Your expertise and guidance is sincerely appreciated and we look forward to what’s to come. I am grateful for this opportunity. (Jeannine, Board Member)

An Engaged Group of Nonprofits Participated in a Thought-Provoking Workshop on the Challenges of Recruiting and Retaining Volunteers Over Lunch at the Winnetka Community House

Recruiting and retaining great volunteers is a challenge for all Nonprofits today. This lively discussion was a terrific opportunity to learn some current best practices for finding, training, and retaining valuable volunteers. The conversation was lead by Volunteer Center Executive Director Barb Tubekis, Tricia Luzadder of JJ’s List/Search, Inc., and Ann Healing of Breakthrough. In addition to discussing how to maximize the productivity of volunteers — and how to turn them into community PR machines — attendees also learned about the benefits of utilizing individuals with disabilities in their volunteer programs. This was just one of the Nonprofit Workshops we hosted last year — but watch this website for announcements of our 2018-2019 schedule of Workshops and Networking Events, coming this Fall.
