The nonprofit sector is facing major fundraising challenges. Government cutbacks, shrinking endowments, and business belt-tightening mean revenue shortfalls that could prevent your organization from fulfilling its mission. To thrive, a nonprofit needs forceful revenue strategies and an organizational culture that champions them. These aspects are best incorporated into a comprehensive fundraising plan, either formal or informal. Great fundraising plans bridge the gap between theory and practice, and our speaker, Laurence Pagnoni, will show you how to make your plan great.

Key aspects he will cover include how to

• Cultivate an organizational culture of giving
• Link fundraising success to organizational development
• Know when a formal plan is needed or not
• Ensure that executive and board leadership fully support fundraising initiatives
• Build a new donor constituency where none currently exists, or broaden an existing donor base
• Determine the correct level of funding diversification and your return on investment
  
• Avoid revenue plateaus
