Non-Profit Workshop

If you feel that you need assistance attracting new corporate donations, we can help. Through our proven business development workshops, we’ve been able to help our charity clients open more corporate doors than ever before.

Our work designing strategic philanthropy programs for corporate clients has allowed us to see firsthand what they look for when deciding whether or not to invest in new charity partnerships. By sharing our insights with your team, we are able to help you prospect more effectively, stand out from your competition, and generate significant increases in contributions.

  What Our Clients Say:  
     
 

I found the ORENDA workshop to be very useful and informative. ORENDA’s Workshop model provided a framework for our team to build on our success.  The workshop helped us to identify and pursue potential prospects and provided templates of correspondence used in the various stages of prospecting. It was a great learning experience for our team!

  
     
 

The Orenda team is inspirational.  They've seen clearly that the strategic approach to corporate philanthropy works and they can show how it's done.  At the end of the workshop, I felt we had achieved everything we came for and had been revitalized in the process.
