Get Started: Onboarding

Who This is For

This session is for you if:

  • You know that fundraising is a key component to making your organizing goals happen

  • You are new to fundraising, and want to learn more about how to fundraise people in your network

​You don't need to be rich, politically connected, extroverted, or "expert." You just need to:

  1. ​Care about making a positive impact in politics

  2. Do something about it (by joining this session!)

What to Expect

​At From Caring to Doing: Get Started with Donor Organizing, you can get started with the highest-impact role to change politics in just 90 minutes. Real people who never thought of themselves as political fundraisers will help you put together everything you need to channel your passion into a plan.

What We’ll Cover

  • ​What a donor organizer is and how it can be the highest-impact volunteer role in politics

  • ​Stories from experienced donor organizers on how they got started and how you can too

  • ​Choose-your-own-adventure action-oriented breakouts led by experienced organizers to answer your questions and dive into your next steps

  • Your first bite-sized milestone that you can achieve within the next month to start making an impact
