Training description:
Many worthy causes, projects, ministries, and organizations lack the financial support needed to fulfill their missions because their leaders have little or no fundraising training or experience. Fundraising is both science and art. It is science because it requires a system and a cycle, and art because it uses creativity in words and images to persuade individuals to begin or deepen their involvement. This presentation provides an overview of fundraising concepts and methods from a faith perspective and shows participants how to develop plans for enhancing their fundraising program to generate significant resources over time.
