A brief introduction to fundraising for ministry, covering the difference between living by faith and fundraising, a 7 page case study of a project, relating to funders.
With agency budgets tightening, helping to fund your work as a communicator is becoming a career survival technique. This workshop will look at where nonprofit resources come from and how to keep them coming to you.
Facilitator Bud Heckman discussed data, trends and techniques for fundraising. Communications and development efforts must be closely aligned, he says. And communications must be seen as an integral part of the agency’s mission, not just a dispensable tool serving it.
