Fund / Resource Development
In order to stay in business, an agency must raise money and find resources—including goods, services, and skilled volunteers. Board members, management and staff must each participate in this process for it to be most successful. We offer workshops that are user-friendly and make the process simple and specific.
All workshops are available as half-day or full-day presentations:
Creating a Fundraising Plan
Organizations that are successful at raising financial resources generally have a well-defined plan, have identified diverse funding sources, and know what it is about their organizations that will attract funders. This workshop will show you how to achieve your fundraising goals using our proprietary planning tools and processes.
99+ Effective Ways to Raise $$$
Our 99+ Ways workshop explains in detail the many types of funders you can approach including foundations, corporations and individuals. Each target funder requires a different contact strategy, and each one will define 'giving' a little differently. Be prepared for each situation and remember, you are only limited by your own imagination!
How to Develop an Individual Donor Database
Over 80 percent of all donations in the United States are made by individuals. This workshop guides you through the essential steps in the prospect research process and shows you how to integrate individual donations into your overall development plans.
Grant Writing Made Simple*
