Dollars through the Door: Who Does What in Nonprofit Fundraising? [Lunch & Learn Webinar]
Wednesday, March 13, 2013
10:00 AM to 12:00 PM (EDT)
This session provides an introduction to the diverse strategies nonprofits can use to generate revenue for their organizations with an emphasis on planning, sustainability and the role of Executive Staff and Board Members in fundraising efforts. We will be covering four key topics that typically arise when discussions of "fundraising" occur.
These are
- the importance of integrating fund development planning at the board and staff level.
- how to build and effective board/staff partnership including the role of each in creating and implementing a plan.
- overcoming the fear of the "ask" with consistent, impactful messaging and considering new and innovative entrepreneurial approaches.

Statement from National Council of Nonprofits on Sequestration Cuts
"While Washington lawmakers play the blame game over who is responsible for letting sequestration's automatic spending cuts go into
effect, America's nonprofits, and the people they serve, have been the first to suffer the consequences.
"Nonprofits have been in limbo for months already due to sequestration's uncertainty
with contract renewals held up as states and localities wait to see how they are affected by the cuts. While for-profit road-builders cease laying asphalt until payments are guaranteed, nonprofits continue providing needed services in their local communities. Nonprofits with government contracts and grants haven't kickedat-risk children out of group homes, cut back on care for mentally ill individuals, or stopped serving meals to seniors. Instead, nonprofits have continued operations as best they could, effectively subsidizing governments.
"As the reality of sequestration cuts play out, the work of nonprofits is going to become even more difficult from multiple compounding factors as many are hit by direct funding cuts to programs, hit again as state and local governments cut their funding further to make up for their own budgets being cut, and hit a third time as people who are furloughed or laid off as part of sequestrationturn to nonprofits for help in unprecedented numbers. Charitable nonprofits are already severely depleted from doing so much more, for so many more, for so much longer, with so much less; they can no longer underwrite government's failures.
Nonprofit employees and board members can no longer pick up the slack as elected officials refuse to do their jobs...
