About this Web Conference:
Many development officers are so relieved when the fiscal year or calendar year comes to an end, they don't even want to think about work over the summer or in January. The year-end mailings are done, the events are on hold, the grant deadlines have all been met, so let’s just take some time off. Our donors and volunteers are away or recovering from the holidays, so what do we do to fill our time? Why not spend the next month getting ready so you can hit the ground running in the year ahead!
In this session:
- Review board involvement in fundraising
- Assess the success of the past year’s development effort
- Assess the effectiveness and costs of fundraising materials
- Plan to improve effectiveness and efficiency in the year ahead
Evaluating Past Year’s Performance: 15 things to look at that will help you determine how you’ve done in the past, evaluation tools will be reviewed that can help you assess past performance.
Planning for Next Year: 15 things to do differently: 15 practical steps to use the evaluations you’ve done in the first 15 days, that you can do, one each day, to strengthen your program for the year ahead.
