Maximizing Impact: Strengthening Fund Development and Donor Relations
“We will equip you with practical tools to strengthen your nonprofit’s funding strategies and donor relationships,” said Alyson Sauter, UW Extension, at the beginning of the Northwest Alliance Community Foundation’s (NACF) workshop for local nonprofit leaders.
Twenty-three attendees, representing 15 nonprofits, learned to analyze their nonprofit’s needs, strengths and weaknesses. Alyson Sauter provided excellent detail on planning and implementing a strategic fund development plan that can lead to nonprofit success.
The workshop, “Maximizing Impact: Strengthening Fund Development and Donor Relations,” was held on January 30th at Northwest Passage Gallery in Webster and was part of NACF’s ongoing Nurturing Your Nonprofit series of educational events for nonprofit leaders. These workshops are meant to help nonprofits function more effectively and efficiently.
