Your success depends upon BOTH your methods and your mindset!
Major gifts development professionals are quite often their own worst enemy.
With more than 30 years of firsthand major gift fundraising and management experience, Marcy Heim personally knows the self-limiting beliefs and self-defeating mindsets that hold fundraisers back.
That’s why Marcy created her “patented” Artful Asker Cycle of Successful RelationshipsTM…
…to give other fundraisers like you new insights into how to embrace and manage your work so you can have both more giving success and more joy in your life.
Now as an international speaker, author, and development coach, Marcy reveals her most powerful secrets to breaking self-destructive beliefs and teaches major gift development methods that actually work LONG TERM…Again and again.
In The MORE Major Gifts Workshop, Marcy will show you how to…
- Attract donors to your cause and “get out of the way” of your success,
- Embrace the importance of shared values,
- Get your Board and staff engaged,
- Be comfortable writing and speaking a major gift ask (or any ask, really) with Marcy’s 3-step recipe,
- Create a step-by-step RAP (Relationship Action Plan) for one of your donors that you can take home and execute right away, and
- Have fun… sing…. And find JOY in this honorable and noble profession.
Bottom line — you’ll be able to…
Write and speak a successful, respectful major gift individual ask that leads to YES! And, create appropriate “touches” throughout the development cycle for staff, volunteers and Board, and…
Examine the powerful role your mindset plays in your overall development success and learn words and techniques that will increase your overall satisfaction in your development work!

How much would you think an experience like this costs that gives you…
- A fully-developed plan to cultivate your next major gift…

- The confidence to write and speak a Major Gift Ask, and…
- The secrets to breaking through the barriers between you and your success?
- The ability to raise a major gift….period.
Private training like this—with CFRE accreditation—can cost you anywhere from $1,500 to $5,500.
But if you register today, you can bust through the barriers keeping you from your next major gift.
Does having an execution-ready Relationship Action Plan and confidence to ASK WITH JOY for your next major gift seem hard to believe? YES…and this is GUARANTEED!
THEN LISTEN TO WHAT ARE PAST ATTENDEES HAVE TO SAY!
