  TITLE: A Solitary Effort: Fundraising With a Department of One
  CITY: Phoenix
  DATE: Thursday September 24th, 2009
  Time: 10:00am-11:15am

On the tiny budgets of the smallest nonprofit organizations, many of us are forced to work on our own. It is a daunting task to make money from a shoestring budget. A solitary fundraiser must know how to prioritize his or her activities and how to squeeze the most effort out of each dollar in the budget. Attendees will learn how to keep the smaller departments effective and running smoothly. This session with cover topics like:
   
1.   Keep on track: How to create and maintain a year–round financial plan for optimal fundraising.
2.   How is researching different in a department of one?
3.   Third Party: How outsourcing your direct mailings can save you time and bring in plenty of money.
4.   Donor Solicitation: How to streamline the solicitation process from research to acquiring a significant gift.
5.   Planned giving: How to organize gifts through bequests and wills.
6.   Leadership Involvement: How the involvement of the board is much more important, and how they will change the course of a small nonprofit.
