Event Description

Title
How to Create a Fundraising Strategy That You Will Actually Use

Presenter
Doreen O'Skea, Director of Legacy and Leadership Giving, Oregon Shakespeare Festival

There are as many approaches to fundraising as there are nonprofits. So, it makes sense to build a fundraising strategy that builds on your existing strengths and capacity so you can get the results you need.

During this training, you will learn how to build a fundraising program that will allow you to use your existing staff, board, and volunteers to raise more money without necessarily overhauling your entire operation to accommodate new fundraising strategies.

After this training attendees will:

• Understand the difference between a fundraising program and a fundraising plan (and why you need both)
• How to inspire your board and volunteers to lead the way
• How to keep staff motivated and focused
• Be able to share the WHY for your fundraising plan with everyone
