Cost is Free to Chaffee Commons members and just $20.00 for non-members. All Nonprofits from Chaffee County and surrounding areas are welcome to participate.

Get ready to write! Proposal writing may not be the reason you created or joined your non-profit, but it is an important means to the support you provide your communities. Practice with tools to create effective, concrete grant responses; join our best practices dialogue; and learn to save time.

What to bring: paper and writing utensil, laptop if you have one (not required), any of your organization's current written products (statements of purpose, fundraising email, brochure, volunteer guidelines, introductory paragraphs for grants, etc., not required but very helpful) to improve upon during our session, and a willingness to engage and grow!

Say what? It’s the end of year already? Well, not technically.  But there is no time like September to plan your year-end fundraising campaign.  In this webinar we will go through the steps of conducting a End Of Year (EOY) fundraising review and explore 3 ways you can maximize your EOY fundraising successes.  During the last part of the session, we’ll walk through a one-page EOY fundraising plan taking what we learned and applying it immediately to the work at hand.
