Course Description
This highly participatory workshop gives a complete deconstruction of the Fundraising Houseparty – a very powerful and flexible way to raise donations from individuals for nonprofit organizations both large and small.  Topics covered include:
o    What projects are appropriate for houseparties;
o    Finding and preparing the Host;
o    Who to invite;
o    Timeline for and design of invitations;
o    Program sequence for the formal presentation;
o    What type of program clip to show;
o    How to make the “ask” and who should do it;
o    Follow-up activities.  
Participants are encouraged to bring in samples of their own houseparty invitations and pledge cards (actual or proposed).
