|
Extended Program

Part II: 1:15 - 2:00pm

As so many nonprofits balance their visions of growth with the realities of limited funding, Giving and Getting explores how changes in philanthropic giving trends have reshaped the way nonprofit organizations need to compete for their piece of the philanthropic pie. Your organization will come away with a better understanding of the donor community and how to shape your effort to increase giving.

A Survival Kit for Fundraising in a Bad Economy |
Updated: A Survival Kit for Fundraising in a Bad Economy
A tumultuous economy can present unique challenges for nonprofit fundraising. Looking for ways to cope? AFP has compiled a toolkit of resources to advise and guide fundraisers in tough economic times.
"Donors have a lot on their minds these days as they sit down with their personal budgets," explains Paulette Maehara, CFRE, CAE, president and CEO of AFP. "But despite the headlines about Wall Street and the financial markets, we as fundraisers should not lose sight of the fact that giving is a way for communities to pull together. While the economic forecasts are uncertain right now, what is quite certain is the capacity of people to lend a hand and support institutions of all kinds. We hope you'll use AFP as a resource in garnering vital support for your organization in what may be a wild ride over the next few months."
