As the economy comes out of the recession, economic development
organizations everywhere are experiencing decreases in traditional funding
sources. This can be particularly difficult for small communities that are more
reliant on public-sector support. However, a successful fundraising campaign can
alleviate some of the strain on organizational budgets and allow ongoing support
of vital economic development programs.
Join IEDC on April 22nd to learn useful tips for successful fundraising
in smaller markets during the economic recovery. This web seminar will
highlight:
- How to build support and strategic partnerships for the campaign
- Key audiences to target for contributions
- Effective and inexpensive fundraising tools
