Annual Giving in One Hour A Week

 

Do you wish your nonprofit organization had more money coming in? Are you generating grant proposals but never seem to have time to raise charitable gifts from individuals? Did you somehow become responsible for fundraising even though you haven’t done it before? Are you stuck in the Catch-22 of not raising enough money to hire someone to raise money?

If you’re the one who has to make fundraising work, welcome to Annual Giving in One Hour a Week. I have committed to posting one task every week that takes about an hour to do. Use the exercises to build or elevate your annual giving program. Annual giving done right provides a steady stream of unrestricted revenue, as well as a way to engage people who care about the work you do. I want you to have the tools to raise money without becoming overwhelmed.

Visit here to find weekly, bite-sized tasks that build over the year to create a solid annual giving program so your organization can raise money through the relationships you already have. I post on Mondays so you can look ahead at your week and put your One Hour on the calendar. Whether you do the work all at once or in a few pieces, commit to completing it before the next Monday to stay on track.

The structure of this free online guide is based on a calendar year, but start when you are ready! Your feedback and questions are welcome, so please connect with me.
