Sector Event: Fundraising Strategy Reality Check

Presented by the Maine Association of Nonprofits

Planning provides a guide for action, and it has been proven that fundraising works better when you have a plan — and even better if you follow it. When was the last time your fundraising plan had a refresh? In this workshop, we’ll discuss:

• Identifying the best mix of revenue sources for your organization.
• Creating an annual fundraising calendar.
• Defining other ways to benchmark your results - beyond just dollars.
• Using your plan to educate your board, deflect random fundraising ideas, and stay on task.
• Building a shared understanding of what fundraising actually entails with your team so everyone can participate in the plan, deepen relationships with supporters, and generate more resources.

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

• Outline the existing components of their annual fundraising plan.
• Evaluate their current fundraising strategies and activities for feasibility.
• Develop and articulate a persuasive case for support to donors.
• Identify new opportunities and create plans to improve their fundraising approach and strategy based on their current strengths, staff and volunteer capacity, and audiences.
