CEN is proud to partner with ImaginePod to help nonprofits learn how to create an innovative year-end campaign, in community with experts and your amazing social impact peers. This 90-minute workshop is exclusively for nonprofits in the CEN community. It's a high-energy countdown to New Years with great resources to close out the year. It's not just talking, but doing the work during the workshop, because the final 3 days of December are the biggest giving days of the year. We do this in community since people are more likely to succeed when we have mastermind-type groups to collaborate with. 🌟 Together We Rise. 🌟 Register Now: https://lnkd.in/eu5kVE4x #Nonprofit #ProfessionalDevelopment #Fundraising
