Developing Annual Sustainability

Is your nonprofit sustainable for years to come?

In this class, you will learn how to develop a broad, enduring base of supporters and meet your fundraising goals from one year to the next. Involve your staff, board, and other volunteers to identify, cultivate, and ask for gifts from new donors while renewing and receiving larger gifts from your current donor base.

Successful fundraising is an ongoing process

As you continue to identify new donors, you also need to maintain good relations with current donors and encourage them to repeat and increase their giving. Learn, strengthen, and level-up the fundraising skills that can sustain your organization including successful planning and deployment of direct mail, online giving, major gifts, and special events.
