Fundraising Beyond Grants
Track Leader: Lee Ellen Martin
Why is it so hard to get around to asking people for money? How can your great project produce more funding? Join this session to make plans to stabilize your organization’s contributed revenue streams. Through discussion and practical activities participants will work on case statements, prospect identification, solicitation techniques, relationship building and donor communications. Group discussions will also help participants find strategies for funding for difficult projects and hard to solicit prospects.
