Event Description

While we've seen significant changes in the world of nonprofit fundraising over the last several years, the basic tenets of planning, creativity, and communication remain unchanged. Jim Lewis and Helen Kennedy, co-founders of Lewis Kennedy Associates, offer a good look at the development cycle and how it shapes your nonprofit's development efforts.

We'll explore:

  • Thinking about your organization from the donor's perspective
  • Identifying major and planned giving prospects
  • Finding new donors and building their relationship to your organization
  • Creating a comprehensive development plan

Join fellow nonprofit leaders to explore the nuts and bolts of developing, designing, and executing a fund development plan that builds on your existing efforts and brings your organization closer to a long-term goal of sustainable support. You'll leave inspired with a greater understanding of what it takes to evaluate your program's performance, identify opportunities, and address weaknesses.
