The 4 Stages of PLAN
4 ways to make sure your fundraising stays on track
Regardless of where you are in the fiscal year, here are four things to do right now to help you avoid the dreaded conclusion, "We can't because there is no more money."
Prepare it
No matter when your fiscal year begins, if you don't have a living fundraising plan in place -- and by living, I mean one that you are actually following, not just the one you had to put together for the board of directors -- do it now. Begin with what you know you must do (year-end appeals, for example), and then add in other fundraising communications in priority order.
