Event Details

It's far from secret that we are dealing with a tough economic environment these days and there is no magic 8 ball to tell us when things might turn around.   It is in these tough times that innovation, creativity, and some common sense can take you further than even before.  In the new book, Fundraising When Money Is Tight: A Strategic and Practical Guide to Surviving Tough Times and Thriving in the Future, some simple yet sometimes counterintuitive steps are presented that you can take to ensure that your organization will suffer the least possible damage in a down economy -- and emerge healthy and poised for renewed growth when the economic crisis has passed.

This book will outline how the economy effects fundraising and then walk you through an effective strategy and practical steps you can take to survive and then thrive in the future.

The author, Mal Warwick, will join us to talk about his book and answer YOUR questions in our May Ask the Expert
