Program Title: 
The Epic Fundraiser: Myth and Science in Philanthropic Storytelling
 
Professor James challenges you to embark on an epic adventure  Leave behind the everyday world of tired fundraising platitudes and practices.  Step into the hidden realm of myth and science that underlies effective fundraising storytelling.  On this tour, you'll meet magical friends and allies like Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell who reveal the deep, primal motives inspiring massive donations.

You'll learn to use powerful instruments forged by neuroimaging, experimental psychology, and big data.  Defeat the enemies of apathy, stigma, and indecision to win the prize of transformational fundraising success.  Take this journey, and return to your organization a more powerful, effective, and resilient fundraiser.
