2010! No matter what the challenges your organization faced in 2009, it's time to start a new year fresh with optimism and an eagerness for hard work.
Along with your positive outlook, there is no more critical component to achieving your fundraising goals than creating your Development Plan. If you haven't yet done this for 2010, it's not too late! What do you need to accomplish and how do you plan on doing it? Make sure staff and board are all in alignment soon, before you are tempted (or pressured) to go on any tangents. There are many excellent resources - both books and online templates you can find with some quick searches (I do recommend reading The Development Plan by Linda Lysakowski, ACFRE).
The GiftWorks Team is committed to helping you increase your knowledge and achieve your fundraising goals, through great software, of course, but also by offering free monthly webinars by nonprofit and fundraising gurus (Next up on January 20 at noon ET: Getting Your Board on Board with Fundraising by Ruthellen Rubin, CFRE).
Our team too is optimistic for 2010, and are excited to give our very best toward stregthening and empowering the nonprofit sector! Let's go!
