The Wolford Group: Recent Episodes
THE WOLFORD GROUP
Fundraising is a challenge. Every nonprofit is competing with other organizations for the same philanthropic dollars, staffing is tight and Boards are comprised of volunteers whose time is limited. The Wolford Group is here to help you galvanize your resources so that you can maximize your fundraising potential. Our clients include nonprofit startups to multimillion-dollar organizations.
Join Ann Wolford for a candid discussion about board service and why you may not be getting the board you deserve. She and her guest George Lindahl, a philanthropist, volunteer, advocate, and “dream” board member get real about board service - from how to get the right people on your board to how to inspire them to raise money.
Whether you are a board member, an aspiring board member or staff member of a nonprofit organization, you will come away from this podcast with gems that will keep you from just checking a box or filling a slot!
Mission-driven work can be exhausting. Nonprofits are understaffed, Boards are comprised of volunteers whose time is limited, and missions are never fulfilled. The Wolford Group is often contracted to manage special events on behalf of a nonprofit organization. These events are essential, time-intensive, detail-oriented, and key to the fundraising goals of nonprofit budgets.
Join me, Brooke Baugh, Consultant with the Wolford Group and our guest, Kristina Bontrager, Director of Catering Sales for The Westin Houston Medical Center for our latest discussion, “Elevating the Event Experience”. We will explore how an organization’s internal framework can elevate the finished product you are producing or creating. You won’t want to miss the conversation as we will dive into corporate culture, customer-centric marketing, and wellness branding that will give nonprofit and for-profit organizations alike tools and tips to integrate best practice elements into your own corporate culture and mission-based work. Grab a notepad, let’s get started!
