THE ESSENCE OF EFFECTIVE FUNDRAISING
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail - Benjamin Franklin
For a non-profit organisation, it is crucial to have incoming revenue coming from fundraising in all its forms.
Various non-profit organisations are trying to spread the word about their work, goals, and financial needs in the community. By reaching out to individual donors, developing and consolidating relationships with businesses, charitable foundations, or governmental agencies; applying for public and private grants; organising activities, non-profits can solicit donations, money and other resources.
An Effective Fundraising Strategy is founded on these core fundamentals:
1. Grants: government, state and local, philanthropy, corporate sponsorships.
2. Members, alumni, friends and other supporters.
3. Donations, wills, bequests.
4. Community partnerships: schools, councils, clubs, sponsors.
5. Special events, festivals.
6. Earned income, business, training.
7. Crowdfunding unrestricted focused.
but what does it actually mean for you? What is it that you do you to raise money? What is your fundraising strategy? Do you really understand grants, philanthropy, and fundraising and use the resources to your advantage despite the efforts made by community organizations?
