Resource Development | Virtual Standards Implementation Series (5 of 6)

Resource Development | Virtual Standards for Excellence Implementation Workshop Series (5 of 6)
Wednesday, March 16 | 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM EST | Interactive Web Meeting

Moderated by: Tish Mogan, Standards for Excellence Director, PANO

Presented by: Standards for Excellence Licensed Consultants  Stephanie Cory, CFRE, CAP

Do you want to move your organization to the next level of effectiveness? Would you like to incorporate the latest practices to strengthen your leadership and managment and could use some support? Would you like to have the potential of raising more money because donors and funders are confident about the quality of your programs and you have evidence to prove it? Are you feeling like there is something more you could do to promote excellence in your organization?

If your answer to any of these questions is YES, the Virtual Standards for Excellence® Implementation Workshop Series is for you! This session, the fifth of six, covers the fifth Guiding Principle of the Standards for Excellence: Resource Development.  We’ll look at things like the elements of a resource development plan, reporting fundraising expenses on the Form 990, controlling the costs of raising money, acceptance of gifts, charitable solicitation registration, and more. We’ll provides lots of tools and resources for putting the information shared into practice, including:

• Sample Board Development Calendar
• Sample Resource Development Plan
• Sample Budget for a Fundraising Event
• Sample Event Timeline
• Template for Policy on Solicitation and Acceptance of Gift
• Donor Bill of Rights
• Cryptocurrency Basics

Join us for just this one or attend all six in the series! Sessions will take place every other Wednesday, starting January 19 except for the last session, which will be held two weeks after session 5, on April 6. While all six workshops complement each other, they can each be viewed independently of the others. Don’t worry if you can’t attend every session – if you sign up for the full series, you’ll receive a copy of the recording and supporting materials for all six.

Each session will be interactive, offering opportunities to learn from the wisdom in the room through peer-to-peer sharing. We’ll have large group discussions where you’ll discover useful tips and strategies for applying the Standards in your organization as well as small group discussions using breakout rooms, where you can really dig in to how others’ practices can help you improve your operations (and where you can share promising practices of your own!).
