Workshop Recap: Sustainable Fundraising Strategies

Just over 30 nonprofits from across South Central and Southwest Minnesota joined us today for a Sustainable Fundraising Strategies workshop, presented by Lori Jacobwith.  Lori covered an amazing amount of material in just three hours and did a great job of giving nonprofits practical tools that can be implemented now. One of my favorite things she pointed out was that we need to remember that our missions are not in a recession: there is still a need for our services, sometimes more than ever. If you missed it (or were there and want to send a board member to the training), Lori will be presenting this workshop one more time, coming up May 5 in St. Cloud. She also has a ton of resources on her website. A special shout-out to Michelle from MCN member org Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southern Minnesota who volunteered to share an organizational story in front of the group and to everyone for their energetic participation — it was a great morning!
