Eight Days to Christmas…

Written By Mindy Muller

Eight days to Christmas and three reminders for planning your funding strategy in 2019...

1. Spend the majority of your fundraising energy and time on cultivating relationships with donors in 2019.
2. Map your board, volunteers and staff. Who is missing from the table? Consider the geography of your community of service and who is sitting at the table with you. Consider diversity of skills, age, life experience, race, culture, ethnicity, education. People give to people so make sure you have the right people represented.
3. Be strategic. No more shooting from the hip. Spend some time on the front end of the year planning and the balance of the year implementing.
