Volunteers as Fundraisers
| Date: | Tuesday, June 1, 2010 | |
| Time: | 9:30am-12:30pm | |
 | ||
| Overview: |
The more advocates and fundraising volunteers your organization has working on its behalf, the better off it will be. Volunteers who are actively engaged with your organization almost always donate more than those who are not personally involved, because those who are have a greater understanding of the mission and the need. Fundraising starts with relationship building and yet many organizations overlook their volunteers as potential donors and advocates for the organization. This session will move beyond the traditional practice of utilizing only board members as fundraisers, and will focus on how many different types of volunteers can play an active role in all areas of fundraising, including events, individual solicitation, proposal writing, and direct mail. | |
