The success of every nonprofit organization is greatly dependent upon its fundraising efforts. In today’s climate of economic uncertainty, professional and personal downsizing, and doing more with less, fundraising can be particularly challenging - especially if you are the sole person responsible for raising money at your institution. This presentation will demonstrate how to develop an effective fundraising strategy when faced with both limited funds and limited staff. This interactive workshop covers strategies to help develop and manage:

• Fundraising plan essentials
• Prospect research
• Direct mail/solicitation
• Major gifts/planned giving
• Special events
• Leadership involvement
