Planning for
Success: Developing
a Fundraising Plan
Failing at fundraising often
means failing to plan.
Far too many organizations do
not take the time to plan and
therefore fail in their fundraising
efforts – fail to meet goals, and
fail to increase donor awareness
and donor support. Your plan
outlines your work for the year
and sets the strategies for rais-
ing money for the organization.
Understanding how to prepare
and, more importantly, how to
execute a fundraising plan is
essential. This informative work-
shop will teach you the basics of
developing and implementing a
successful development program
by focusing on practical “how-
tos” including developing a case,
donor strategies, and cultivation
plans.
