Fundraising for your Mission with Andy Robinson
Thursday, November 18, 2010- 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Cost: $50 (lunch included)
Fundraising is often viewed as complicated, mysterious, and scary. It's assumed that you need to hire someone with appropriate credentials, as one would hire an accountant, plumber, or lawyer. However, at its heart, fundraising is one person asking another to get involved, provide help, take a stand, join a movement, to feel good. Successful fundraising is about responding to the needs of your donors in a respectful and thoughtful way.
Join professional fundraising consultant, Andy Robinson, to learn about the broad range of fundraising options available, including grants, individual donors, and earned income (fees for service, etc.), as well as skills including creating a fundraising case statement that effectively tells your story, developing fundable projects, researching prospective funders, working with prospects to build relationships, making the "ask," and integrating fundraising throughout the organization.
