Some say there are four steps to fundraising – plan, plan, plan, and work your plan. Unfortunately, some of us are so busy fundraising that we feel like we don’t have time to plan.  But, in the long run, this only costs us more time (and money!).  Time management experts calculate that every hour we spend planning saves us five hours of work.  In this webinar, you will start to win back some of your lost time by learning how to create a strategic fundraising plan for your organization.  We will go over the internal and external factors to consider when creating your plan, the financial information you need to gather and analyze, how to develop your goals, and the key components of each fundraising strategy.  All participants will receive a customizable planning worksheet after the session to share with your full staff and board and complete your organization’s fundraising plan.

Part of the Wednesday Webinar series for nonprofit staff and board development. Offering strategy, planning, organizational development, branding, marketing, executive search, finance, fundraising, operations, and more.
