In her workshop at AFP’s 2025 Philanthropy in Action Conference, Vickie Mathews, BCA Senior Vice President, reminded session participants that successful fundraising starts with strong relationships, and those relationships begin with a conversation. Focusing on the fact that discovery meetings are a key step in understanding what someone cares about, what inspires them to give, and how they want to make a difference, Vickie’s workshop was designed to help you feel more confident and prepared when having these important conversations with your major and prospective donors.
