Grow Greene and ISU Greene County Extension & Outreach are hosting a fundraising workshop for nonprofit staff and volunteers Thursday, Sept. 24, from 3 to 8 pm. at Midland Power Cooperative, 1005 E. Lincoln Way in Jefferson. The workshop focuses on using practices based on sound principles in order to increase and sustain fundraising efforts.
Instruction in this workshop will focus on applying strategies to identify, prospect, acquire and retain donors taking into account traditional tools as well as new avenues. Participants will learn effective management techniques for capital, annual and planned giving campaigns. They will explore how to incorporate proven techniques and utilize tools in campaign plans in order to increase engagement and grow their donor base. Through a blend of learning and practice activities participants will gain knowledge and hone their skills in sustainable fund development techniques to take back into their volunteer projects and organizations’ work places.
Lynn Adams is a development specialist with Iowa State University’s Extension to Community Economic Development.
