A TREC fundraising survey report.

There is no doubt that the economic recession has made a significant
impact on many environmental nonprofits. In 2010, due to the severe
economic downturn, TREC conducted a follow-up survey on fundraising
just a year after the 2009 report, Weathering the Storm. "Moving
To Higher Ground: Fundraising Strategies in Challenging Times" will
illustrate key facets of fundraising challenges in our current times.

In addition, this report is broken down into seven "reportlets" below, each of which focuses on tactical steps that every organization can adopt in these challenging times. These reports are just as relevant today as they were a year ago.

The Guide is based on more than 50 years of combined experience in helping conservation organizations negotiate the subtlety of Executive Director transitions. It provides an overview of the entire process of shifting from one organizational leader to another in a way that is organized, logical, and as pain-free as possible. The Guide is organized into three sections:
• The Executive Director Hiring Process
• Once your Executive Director is Hired: Working with the New ED
• Addressing Executive Director Transition: Turnover, Resignation and
Termination
Each section highlights critical considerations and action steps in managing the transition process. It is designed to provide guidance each step of the way. While written primarily for Boards of Directors, who have direct responsibility for Executive Director issues, the Guide will also provide benefit for leaders and staff members wishing to have a more comprehensive understanding of the transition process.
