Breakfast Club


Now in its 10th year, The Breakfast Club is a monthly support group co-hosted with Candid/Foundation Center for directors of small development shops to share challenges and strategies for personal and organizational success.  In a mixture of formal presentation, case studies, and informal roundtables, senior Cause Effective consultants support members to share their insights, gain practical solutions, and remedy the on-the-job isolation and stress.

Past topics include:

  • Prioritization: Strategic Use of Limited Resources
  • Connecting and Growing Corporate Sponsorship
  • Expanding Individual Giving - Growing Major Gifts
  • Successfully Motivating and Managing Board Fundraising
  • Annual Campaigns
  • Time Management - and Making Time for Self-Care
