Foundations of Fund Raising: A Crash Course in the Basics of Raising Money
Welcome to the world of fund development! In this workshop, we will offer an overview of this aspect of a non-profit’s work in our community. Participants will learn basic terms, types of fund development, why relationships are the heart and soul of raising money successfully and why “PLAN” is about to become your favorite four-letter word!
