Inspiring Ideas in Philanthropy: What’s a One Pager?
What's a one pager? How can it help you cultivate donors and raise support for your project? Most importantly, what does a one pager look like and how do you write one? The GIFT Center presents a training where we’ll cover the basics, provide samples, and address issues related to your particular project. After the training you’ll leave prepared to craft an authentic one pager that makes your work stand out. Join us and RSVP to cory.aaland at uafoundation.org<mailto:cory.aaland at uafoundation.org?subject=Training%20RSVP>
