Practical Strategies and Real Stories for Transformational Giving

Major gifts can feel intimidating. The conversations are bigger. The numbers are bigger. The expectations are higher.

But major gifts are essential. They are one of the most powerful drivers of a strong annual fund and often the key to advancing programs rather than simply sustaining them.

Join us in person with Lisa Ferraro, CFRE, Vice President for Development at Notre Dame High School in West Haven, who understands that major gifts are the cornerstone of any successful fundraising program. Over her 25+ year career, she has completed capital campaigns for Norwalk Community College, Norwalk Hospital, and Eagle Hill School, led corporate philanthropy at GE Consumer Finance, and consistently exceeded annual fundraising goals. She is a CFRE, recipient of the AFP Fairfield County Outstanding Leadership Award, and holds an MBA in International Finance from the University of Bridgeport.

Lisa will share a practical Major Gift Playbook for fundraisers at every level, along with real stories and creative, out-of-the-box strategies that turn relationships into transformational gifts.

Major gifts may feel scary. They are also necessary.
