Many nonprofits struggle to create a fundraising plan and put it in writing, yet the benefits are tremendous. A written plan shifts you from being reactive and dealing with the crisis of the day to being proactive and working purposefully toward the results you want. In this session, you’ll learn how to follow 6 simple steps to put together a written plan for raising the money you need in the coming year. We’ll cover goal setting (using SMART goals), action plans, and ways to keep your plan on track, plus you’ll get some worksheets and checklists that will make the process easy.

At the conclusion of this session, participants will:
  • Understand the elements of a written plan.
  • Understand the process for creating a plan.
  • Be able to begin the process of creating a written plan.

  • Target Audience
    While this presentation is appropriate for all levels of experience, it will be most helpful for those newer to the profession.

    Over the past decade, nonprofit organizations have been inundated with Internet services and technology options. This session taught by Ted Hart, one of the world’s foremost experts on Nonprofits and the Internet will focus nonprofit leadership on how they can improve the management, networking and fundraising of their organization through the use of these tools.  Content is based on the new book, "Nonprofit Internet Management: Strategies, Tools and Trade Secrets." While nonprofit organizations continue to embrace the use of the Internet for a variety of purposes, the challenge organizations face is not whether they should be using the Internet, but instead HOW they should manage their Internet applications in a coordinated, cost-effective and efficient manner to leverage these efforts for maximum benefit. Following the guidance offered in this book will help charities address increasing public demands for
    accountability and performance measurement of nonprofits.

    At the conclusion of this session, participants will understand:

  • Management of Fundraising Online using the Internet.
  • Accountability of Nonprofits.
  • Performance measurement using online tools.
  • Saving money, adding efficiency using the internet.
