The workshop will focus on the particular challenges and opportunities for raising money in small communities. Designed for people of all experience levels, it will assume some knowledge of fundraising because everyone has asked or been asked!
Topics include:
* Creating a compelling message
* Prospect identification
* Using strategies to their best advantage
* Connecting personally with donors across sparsely populated regions
* Developing an appropriate fundraising style so there’s no embarrassment when you step out in the community
No matter what the barriers are in your community, you will leave Grassroots Fundraising with practical strategies and renewed energy for fundraising.
