About this event
Every nonprofit needs a development plan that is tailored to its needs. In this two-workshop session, we will create or refine your plan to maximize the dollars you raise and even out the peaks and valleys of your income. We will design an 18-month calendar that incorporates the right mix of fundraising methods, such as annual appeals, personal requests and events. Strengthen your organization’s sustainability through a well-thought-out fundraising plan. These workshops are interactive and require participation. There will be assignments to be completed between day one and day two.
