Every Thursday in April, the Wisconsin Historical Society’s Local History Outreach Team will offer a one-hour Zoom webinar on a topic relevant to the local history community for its Spring Webinar Series. Local and national speakers will discuss fundraising, digitization projects, outreach and collections while also fielding questions from audience members.

On Thursday, April 6, join Jamie Simek, Grants Manager at The Eiteljorg Museum as she discusses strategies that can help organizations prepare for major gift fundraising. Chances are when you think about fundraising, you think about “big asks.” But how do you know if your gift request is “major?” And who should you ask? How much should you ask for? And what if they say no? In this webinar, we will use the fundraising cycle to talk about how your organization can prepare for major gift fundraising and answer some of your big questions before you start asking for big money.
