Fundraising in the New Economic Reality

A One-Day Training

Saturday, May 2, 2009
Grand Rapids, Michigan


Registration closes next Friday, April 24!<http://www.heartofthelakes.org/events.html>


Invest your valuable time to learn the secrets of raising money - even in a tough economic climate.  The time you spend will pay dividends in building a strong fundraising foundation for your conservancy and developing strategies you need to attract support for your organization.

This one-day workshop will be led by Donna Fletcher of Mission Driven, a nationally-known fundraising consultant who has worked extensively with land conservancies across the country.

At the end of the day, you will:
*         Know how fundraising and communications programs can be adjusted to respond to the new economic reality
*         Have an enhanced understanding of how your conservation programs impact and affect fundraising
*         Take away practical suggestions for enhanced donor cultivation, solicitation and stewardship
*         Know how to create a plan for a solid annual giving program in the midst of challenging economic times

Cost:
$50 per person for Heart of the Lakes or Land Trust Alliance member organizations.
$65 per person for other environmental or conservation organizations.
