3-day experience: arrival Monday evening departure Thursday morning
Are you a nonprofit leader or fundraising professional overwhelmed by the relentless pressure to secure support for your organization? You're not alone. Many in your position have never learned how to effectively inspire generosity
I understand firsthand how daunting fundraising can feel when you're learning as you go. Traditional approaches often feel awkward, uncomfortable, and draining—leaving you exhausted instead of energized.
This retreat changes everything. In just a few days, you'll learn the DREAMS™ framework—a simple, proven method to inspire generosity in a way that feels natural and actually works.
The DREAMS™ framework is founded on six key principles. In each session, you'll learn how to integrate these principles into your technique to motivate others to join your mission.
Don’t let the name fool you—The Shack, in the heart of Michigan, is anything but rustic. This hidden gem offers a five-star retreat experience, combining breathtaking views, warm hospitality, and every comfort you could ask for.
