Fundraising Basics for Preservation Organizations

Preservation organizations need money to carry out the work that they do. And to be effective in raising funds, everyone in the organization—board members, volunteers, and staff—needs to understand essential fundraising principles and practices.

This publication will empower all the “accidental fundraisers” in your organization to understand the importance of fundraising and how to be successful in building support for your organization’s programs and activities. The booklet covers fund development plans, strategic planning, fund development tools, and fundraising from individuals, foundations, and corporations. An extensive resource guide is also included.
