Nonprofit Networking: Creating a Fundraising Plan

Nonprofit volunteers and professionals: you are invited to this quarterly meetup presented by Vernon Area Public Library, GiveNKind, and The Lake County Community Foundation.

Connect with colleagues at local nonprofits to build relationships, create awareness, and benefit from each other’s experiences and insights. Each meeting includes a presentation or workshop that will help your organization run more effectively, followed by time for refreshments and informal conversations.

This quarter’s program is specifically geared toward smaller organizations. Our topic is “Creating a Fundraising Plan.” Learn to develop and execute a plan that includes a variety of financial opportunities, including Individual Giving, Planned Giving, Institutional Giving, and Special Events. Attendees will gain valuable insights and practical tools to:

• Determine which giving categories might be the best use of your time
• Get help matching your organization’s activities with national trends in charitable giving
• Learn about free resources available to your organization

Our facilitators are Maria Sievert, Director of Development at The Lake County Community Foundation, and Ashley Johnson, Community Engagement & Partnerships Librarian at Vernon Area Public Library.

Space for this popular event is limited; please only register if you plan to attend. Please sign up each person from your organization who plans to attend so that we have an accurate headcount.
