The Development Plan: Why You Need One and How to Create One That Works

Find out how to create and implement an effective development plan for your organization.

Does your staff and board come up with spur of the moment ideas and expect you to work on these ideas during all of your other work? Having a clear plan is the best way to avoid these last-minute ideas and focus on the true priorities of your development office. But how do you begin the plan? It starts with knowledge of fundraising and a review of past successes and failures. Then you develop a realistic plan that can be accomplished with your existing resources--staff, volunteers, budget, and time. A solid plan will help keep you sane and your organization focused on the things that make the most sense for your organization.
