Successful Completion of GIFT!
April 6, 2011
The first cohort of the Grinspoon Institute Fundraiser's Training (GIFT) program wrapped up with an in-person meeting in early April in Northampton, MA. The development professionals for over a dozen camps were present for this two-day session that culminated the year-long program.
Participants were excited about the opportunity and experience gained from GIFT. End-of-session comments included:
"I really enjoyed the program and did learn a lot from you and the participants. I am honored to have participated and grateful for the opportunity to learn, share, and re-charge my batteries."
"[GIFT] gave credence and further professionalism to our fundraising efforts." |
