Common Good Vermont is pleased to share this event hosted by SCORE.

Nonprofit fundraising is the lifeblood of charitable organizations, and it helps to further your mission. Fundraising is also typically the primary means of income for nonprofits, regardless of the age or size of the organization. However, for many nonprofit leaders, raising money can be a burdensome, never-ending effort, and can even seem scary and overwhelming at times.  This workshop was developed to help nonprofit leaders develop a fundraising plan that is simple and painless to plan and implement.

What you’ll learn:

  1. To describe the Pareto Principle (80/20 Rule) and how it applies to fundraising.
  2. To describe the 15/15/30 Principle and use it to generate fundraising ideas.
  3. To define commonly used fundraising methods.
  4. To develop a simple fundraising plan for the program year.

This training is offered free of charge.
