Explore the strengths and opportunities to fundraise in Calhoun County and how nonprofits can work more collaboratively together. Bring one or two key volunteers who are willing to help build your giving program. This event will cover essential communication and marketing tools. This event will also explore how every board member needs to be engaged in the fundraising process and the ways to help are endless.  Come learn “no-ask” strategies that ensure all board members have a role in the process to raise more money and increase the number of people engaged in the fundraising process.
