Just Tell Me: What's the Best Way to Raise Money?

Many nonprofits are revisiting their fundraising and earned income strategies in response to the economic downturn. Is there something new we should be doing? What is the board's role in developing and supporting the revenue strategy? We'll start with looking at the range of possibilities for financial support, and go on to consider your current strategy – even if you think you don't have one. We'll discuss identifying the best potential supporters for your work, what “pitch” to give them, and how much to ask for. Finally, we'll map revenue strategies and think through which to grow, which to give up on, and how to leverage them together. This workshop is designed for the whole fundraising team: executive directors, board members and fundraising staff. Co-sponsored by BoardStar.
