The Shunpike is excited to announce the next installment of their successful Accountability & the Arts series. "Crafting the Ask" will be held Monday, April 14th at 7pm in the Seattle Center House. This session will offer advice for face-to-face donor solicitation, featuring Passages Northwest Development Director Laurie Johnson, Passages Northwest Board Secretary Nancy Ward, and Shunpike's own Development Director, Rebecca Olson.
Although fundraising letters and events are effective and widespread methods for raising funds by way of individual donation and sponsorship, nothing rivals the effectiveness of a direct ask. In this workshop, we will review tactics for approaching, cultivating, and asking individuals and businesses to become major supporters. Whether a board member, artist, development staff, or avid supporter, this session will help you practice your pitch and ask for the support your project deserves.
The three presenters will share experiences, provide basic advice, and lead an exercise designed to practice the concepts discussed. Nancy Ward works for Preston, Gates & Ellis, LLP, serves as Board Secretary for Passages Northwest, and has raised funds for several international organizations, including the United Nations Foundation. Laurie Johnson is Development Director for Passages Northwest and has a background in the performing arts, including work at The Empty Space Theater in Seattle. Rebecca Olson has been consulting in arts fundraising for many years and recently became Shunpike's first full-time Development Director.

The Accountability and the Arts series has been developed in support of The Shunpike's mission to strengthen the Seattle arts community by partnering with small and mid-size arts groups to develop the business tools they need to succeed. The series launched in April 2005 with a public forum on the concept of accountability, and has continued bimonthly ever since. Accountability and the Arts is sponsored by 4Culture, the Mayor's Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs, and Seattle Center.
