This article from Sandy Rees was shared on Fired Up Fundraising by Gail Perry and it pretty much sums up a lot of the strategies I've been trying to implement with the help of the Development Committee at the local shelter. Much like she mentioned, you can't know where you want to go unless you know where you are starting from and where it is you want to go.
Do we want to raise money, get more friends, acquire sponsors? I thought this was worth sharing and I hope in the future to share with you what's been successful as the committee creates and works a plan. We have been successful so far in identifying what we've done, what works, what doesn't and put together a draft plan, including what we plan to do. I think we need to clarify our goals. We've stated some but I think we need to be clearer as to what they are. Our clear goals right now are that we need to raise $50,000 in funds and we need to acquire new donors. Right now we're working in a 6 month timeline.
Steps to a Powerful Fundraising Plan
Happy Fundraising from Hoboken - I'll keep you posted - our team meeting is next week. And I just checked back in from a great Cali vacation so I need to review my notes this weekend. :)
