TELLURIDE FOUNDATION TO HOST WORKSHOP FOR NONPROFITS ON FUND DEVELOPMENT

The Telluride Foundation invites regional nonprofits and members of the public to a nonprofit building capacity workshop on developing a "Fund Development Plan" on Tuesday September 28 from 1:00pm - 4:00pm in the upstairs meeting room of the Telluride Fire District, located at 135 W. Columbia Avenue.

 

A fund development plan is an essential tool for every nonprofit organization created with the input of board and key staff members. It drives a strategic, coordinated approach to raise more money. This interactive workshop will help nonprofits to engage their board and other key stakeholders in the process to reach annual fundraising goals.

 

The cost for the workshop is $30, and anyone interested in attending should register and pay on line at http://www.jvaconsulting.com/index.php?s=56 or go the JVA's website at www.jvaconsulting.com and click on "General Nonprofit Trainings" and scroll to the Telluride Trainings.
