Increase donation by 20% each year. • Consider faith based marketing firm for direct mail solicitation. • Ministry partners: contact 92 per year. • Increase first time givers by 25% each year. • Seek four sponsoring churches by 2016. • Look for opportunities to preach at local churches to give a “taste” of VSB. • Create position for development officer.

  8. Strategy for Short Courses
