Fund Planning Tip #1: Engage your Board of Directors in the Process of Creating a Plan
Creation of a fund development plan is a great way to get your Board involved with fundraising. If they help create the fundraising plan, they are more likely to implement it. Successful implementation of fund development plans depend on board involvement.
I’ll be talking about this and lots of other topics relating to creating a fund development plan this Tuesday, October 20th, from 9:30am to 12:30pm at the Center for Nonprofit Management, which you are more than welcome to attend.
I’ve worked with multiple nonprofit organizations and a general rule is that if the board is involved with fundraising, then the organization has a much higher likelihood of being successful at fundraising. Those that don’t’ have involved board often struggle with fundraising.
My workshop on Tuesday explores the steps necessary for creating a fund development plan. Too often, when organizations do engage in fundraising, they do in a haphazard, unplanned way which often leads them frustrated, exhausted and without much success in raising funds. This workshop will discuss the timing of a plan, the overall process, who you need to have involved, what a strong plan consists of and ways to evaluate your organization during the process. As always, my workshops will be fun, fast-paced and interactive.
The workshop is designed for folks new to fundraising or for folks that have had some experience and want to brush up on their skills, please RSVP with the Center for Nonprofit Management if you would like to attend.
As usual, I have a number of other workshops also coming up and invite you to attend. For more information, check out my calendar page.
