The “FUN” in fundraising 2013 Roadshow Annie Kirschner annie@oregonhunger.org
If I had a million dollars… • Or $5,000 • What would you do with it? What would be the result?
What kind of support to seek • Cash Donations • In-kind Donations • Grants • Volunteers • Other?
Who to ask? • Businesses • Community Organizations/non-profits • Foundations • Public
Make your case • What need are you addressing? • Brainstorm a list of the benefits of what you do? Fit into “issue areas”. Who cares about those? • What are they “buying” or investing in? • Tell a story • Use data, in moderation
Grant writing • Find well suited grants before you need them! • Make your case once (master proposal) • Plan for the report (evaluation)
You raised money- now what? • Make it easy to retain your donors! • Report • Thank • Recognize • Engage
Resources • Oregon Foundation Databook- available at all libraries, can order software and book at www.FoundationDataBook.com • GrantStation.com • www.Oregonhunger.org/grants • annie@oregonhunger.org |503-595-5501
