Be Intentional: Building a Resource Development Plan

About the Webinar

Whether you're a one-person show or part of a larger team, your best work will flow from a coordinated fundraising approach.  Annual fund, major gift and capital or comprehensive campaign programs are all mutually reinforcing, but without good planning and integration you might be sub-optimizing your results.  In this session, we'll discuss how sound resource development planning can advance your organization's fundraising outcomes.

Or you might also find him buried in the work of the Newton Cemetery & Arboretum where he serves as Vice Chair of the Board.
