Building Solid Fundraising Plans
Building a Sustainable Future For Your Nonprofit
This course covers all the things you should consider when building a resource engine to fuel the work your nonprofit does. The only way to deliver your unique impact to the world is by having the people, funds, and other assets you need.
Here we explore ways to determine what you want to achieve, what you need to achieve it, and where to look for the things you need to serve the people you are trying to help. You can serve at high levels when you have a diverse set of resources at your fingertips and a step-by-step plan to get them from the right sources.
