ML920 Symposium: Charting the Course: Fundraising in a Competitive Environment
Is raising funds a growing challenge for your organization? The fundraising climate has changed drastically in recent years for organizations large and small. Organizations that could depend solely on great work and goodwill to raise funds have had to become more creative in attracting resources to manage today and lay the groundwork for tomorrow. It is no surprise that funding sources look bleak to some. Since the recession, local and state governments have cut funding to many nonprofit organizations due to dwindling tax revenues. Now, more organizations are looking to private resources to fund their programs and services. Faced with increased competition for these sources, many nonprofit organizations find themselves having to re-think their approaches to potential donors and funders and find alternative ways to diversify their funding sources. Budget cuts have had another crippling effect on fundraising. Nonprofits are finding it more difficult to employ dedicated fundraising staff, resulting in staff with multiple responsibilities which also include fundraising. The increased inclusion of technology in fundraising efforts has been a great opportunity for some organizations, yet a challenge for many others. With an economy that requires nonprofit organizations to serve more people with fewer resources, organizations need effective, efficient ideas for their approaches to fundraising. Organizations that do not evolve may not survive. This symposium will highlight goal-oriented strategies, bold approaches, and high-impact tools that will inject fresh energy into your fundraising. Together they can boost your fundraising results during one of the most competitive environments in fundraising history.
