An Introduction to Fund Raising Basics for Aging Service Providers
This session is an introductory and simple overview for those with no or very limited experience in fund raising. Part 1 provides basic ideas for inexpensive and easy-to-execute small fund raising events. These events are the “sweet spot” for novices, more than a bake sale but far less than a $250 per plate soiree. Part 2 discusses some very basic concepts to understand before soliciting donations.
