Join us for this jam-packed one-hour session and learn why planning should be part of your fund development program, what to plan for, and how to plan to ensure fundraising successes. We’ll cover the key elements of a good fundraising plan, how to make sure your plan has S.M.A.R.T. goals and three things you can do to engage your staff and board in planning.
