nonprofits must deploy to end the crazy-making. Major Gifts Ramp-Up (MGRU) is not nonprofit management 101. Rather, it is for seasoned c-suite executives who dare to confront this train wreck we call charity. It is a tightly facilitated 2-day session that uses an “emperor has no clothes” approach that celebrates participants’ convictions. MGRU relies on the audience to inspire confidence and change. Simply put, a Major Gifts Ramp-Up Event <em><strong>will challenge everything you believe about nonprofit management and the raising of money.</strong></em></p> <p style="Margin:0;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;-ms-text-size-adjust:none;mso-line-height-rule:exactly;font-family:arial, 'helvetica neue', helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:24px;color:#333333;font-size:16px"><br></p> <p style="Margin:0;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;-ms-text-size-adjust:none;mso-line-height-rule:exactly;font-family:arial, 'helvetica neue', helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:24px;color:#333333;font-size:16px"><em><b>“Major Gifts Ramp-Up is for seasoned c-suite executives who possess the courage to confront this train wreck we call charity!”</b></em></p> <p style="Margin:0;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;-ms-text-size-adjust:none;mso-line-height-rule:exactly;font-family:arial, 'helvetica neue', helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:24px;color:#333333;font-size:16px"><br></p> <p style="Margin:0;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;-ms-text-size-adjust:none;mso-line-height-rule:exactly;font-family:arial, 'helvetica neue', helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:24px;color:#333333;font-size:16px">Did you know, that charity spends over 1.2 trillion dollars annually (U.S. Chamber of Commerce).
