Building a development program takes time and resources, and the many tasks involved often exceed the staff and budget available. How can you build a plan that works for your organization? You will leave this session with key steps to creating a written development plan that you can share at your next board committee meeting. You will learn how to evaluate your current fundraising practices as well as map short and longer term goals. We’ll discuss how to identify the fundamentals of a strong fundraising program and when it’s time to add staff or invest in a new database, as well as how to evaluate the fundraising program’s effectiveness beyond dollars raised. Because stewardship underpins all good fundraising, our discussion will begin there. Bring your questions and leave with answers and ideas!

About the Capacity Building for Clay County Nonprofits Series:
The Clay Nonprofits Series is free to nonprofit organizations (including staff, board, and volunteers) located in or serving residents of Clay County. We thank the Paul E. and Klare N. Reinhold Foundation for their generous support of this series. These professional development programs focus on strengthening leadership teams, which begins with the CEO and the Board, but also seeks to deepen the leadership structure by increasing opportunities for peer-learning and networking between managers and key volunteers.
