Diversified Resources I - A Heart/Head Approach
Effective resource development is both art and science - an affair of the heart and the head. It is with the heart that people pursue their missions, build relationships with donors, and share success stories. The head comes into play as individuals identify results, develop strategic goals and logic models, and write focused proposals. Participants in this 2-hour workshop will explore the relationship between these two complementary dynamics. Specifically, they will learn techniques for:

• Researching and identifying potential "best fit" funders and donors
• Approaching relationship building with potential foundation and corporate funders
• Developing mission-based statements of support
• De-mystifying results-driven logic models and strategic plans
• Writing focused proposals that are in alignment with grant guidelines

AND

Diversified Resources II
There's more to resource development than traditional fundraising through special events, grants & annual giving. Alternative fundraising income can be derived from the valuation of your products & services, ticket sales, membership dues, retail sales and other innovative activities. Learn strategies on how to identify and maximize your alternative income opportunities in this workshop.
