Fundraising, Membership and Donor Engagement
Inspired to Build Capacity–Fundraising, Membership and Donor Engagement
Get ready to be truly inspired by the success stories of three different Friends groups from the Great Lakes and the Midwest to the Pacific Ocean! Being a Friend means coming together over common interests and goals for our organizations and the Refuges/Hatcheries we support. What that requires is raising funds through membership programs, fundraising campaigns, events, minor and major grants which can all feel daunting. The time and effort that goes into planning, executing, tracking, and appropriate follow up often requires resources that Friends groups feel intimidated by or ill equipped to even attempt. Join us to glean tips from others who share your challenges and aspirations for their own field sites. Their not-so-secret trick to success: Community.
