Access Philanthropy Workshop Pricing

We have found that workshops are most successful when we work with a co-sponsoring or partnership organization. Support organizations help us understand local funding and fundraising issues, provide some logistical support, and help us focus the workshop on what is best for local participants. We have two types of working relationships: (1) Co-sponsor Organizations and (2) Partner Organizations

Co-Sponsors hire Access Philanthropy for a flat fee, do all promotion and keep all of the profit. This is a great fundraising opportunity for your own organization.

Please contact Access Philanthropy for up to date pricing. We offer discounts when booking multiple workshops back to back and we will also travel to venues across your state.

Partners share equally in the work, revenue and expenses. We recommend charging $75 - $300 per attendee based upon the type of workshop, area pricing and the number of registrants.

To ensure that our own costs are met, a minimum attendance of 30 participants confirmed the Friday prior to the event date is required.

Most organizations choose the Co-Sponsorship option if they want to limit their risk exposure, but choose the Partnership option when they want to use the workshop as a source of revenue for their organization. Many first time organizations choose the Co-Sponsorship option if they are concerned about how well the workshop will be received by registrants, but use the Partnership arrangement for later workshops, because workshop participants generally rate AP workshops 4.85 on a scale of 1 (low) to 5 (high).
