Day 1 – Monday, December 7th
The Fund Development Plan
Fund development is fundamentally about building and nurturing relationships with those who have an affinity for your organization and its mission, vision and goals, ultimately with the goal of generating support.
There is a big difference and advantage for organizations that use a fund development plan with integrated, comprehensive methods. If the fundraising plan generates a set of strategies/tactics, if it is implemented and monitored, if it is integrated with the organizational budget, if resources are allocated to it, then the higher the level of success and sustainability. The COVID19 pandemic has challenged many organizations that have had their fundraising eggs in too few baskets. Now is the perfect time to think about diversifying the plan. And it doesn’t have to be long and complicated. This session is designed to help press a restart button for your organization’s fundraising plan.
Presented by partner organization Global Philanthropic Canada’s Senior Consultant, Kathy Butler, MA, CFRE.
Kathy’s 40 years in health care and higher education fundraising has built her extensive knowledge of annual, major gift and planned giving, as well as capital campaigns. In June 2019, Kathy received one of the highest honours from the Canadian Council for the Advancement of Education (CCAE), the Outstanding Achievement Award. Her contributions to advancement reach far wider, having served on the Board of CCAE; contributing as a CFRE subject matter expert; and helping develop course content and as an instructor for a Fund Development program in Kelowna, BC. In 2016, she earned a Master of Arts degree in Philanthropy and Development. Kathy received her initial designation as a Certified Fund Raising Executive in 1993.
