The Development Assessment: A Tool to Enhance Fund Raising Effectiveness
This presentation is being funded by the CORPORATE PARTNERS PROGRAM of The Community Foundation of Herkimer & Oneida Counties: a collaboration of generous area businesses and The Foundation to promote nonprofit excellence and community advocacy.
Presented by Michael Stein
Many nonprofit executives are confronted with the challenge of leading organizational fund raising efforts without necessarily having background or experience in this most critical area. The development assessment process provides organizations with a comprehensive analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of existing fund raising programs. The assessment process focuses on how the organization can maximize current resources and makes recommendations regarding additional resources needed to attain full fund raising potential.
The development assessment is worth considering if an organization:
• Is dissatisfied with current fund raising performance.
• Wants to increase Board involvement, participation and “ownership” of the development program
• Seeks comparative benchmarks by which to evaluate fund raising effectiveness • Is looking for a strategic development plan to complement the overall organizational strategic plan.
• Is preparing for a major capital campaign.
