    Training Workshop: Financial Sustainability

    Fundraising is often the thing most nonprofit leaders - and their Board of Directors - dread the most. But it is a critical function of every nonprofit, not just to keep the lights on in the short term but to build long term financial sustainability. This two-part series will focus on understanding what motivates different types of funding sources, identifying the funding mix that makes sense for your organization, and developing a successful fundraising plan for long term stability and resilience. This series is designed to build your confidence in your fundraising capabilities and give you the tools and resources to succeed! We encourage you to attend with your Board President, Treasurer, and/or Fundraising Chair. 

    Part 1- Taking the Fear Out of Fundraising

    Tuesday, March 26, 9:30AM-12:30PM

    • Understanding the funding universe, what motivates different types of donors and funders, and how to build strategies that work to appeal to each
    • Determine the right funding mix for your organization
    • Engaging your board in the development of your fundraising plan

    Part 2- Developing an Effective Fundraising Plan

    Tuesday, April 16, 9:30AM-12:30PM

    This hands-on workshop will cover:

    • Developing a comprehensive, step-by-step plan for more intentional, targeted, and effective fundraising
    • Examining the strategies needed to implement an effective fundraising plan, including how to diversify your fundraising streams for long term sustainability
    • Evaluating your fundraising plan- what worked and what didn't?

    An age-friendly community is safe, has affordable and accessible housing and transportation, and offers a variety of supportive community services. An age-friendly community isn’t just for older adults; it serves people of all ages and all ability levels.  After all, doesn’t everyone want to live in a community where they feel safe, welcomed, and engaged?

    Join us to learn about Howard County’s Age-Friendly initiative and the progress that has been made countywide since its launch in December 2019. Terri Hansen, Age-Friendly Howard County Manager, will share what has been happening and the work that still needs to be done. This interactive discussion will provide participants the opportunity to share how their daily works fits into the Age-Friendly Action Plan and identify how they can be engaged going forward.
