Most organizations are unsuccessful with their fund raising efforts, not because their cause isn't worthy of support, but because they simply are not organized to fund raise.  This course covers the basic elements of a mission statement, preparing the case for support, the roles of staff and board, the various legal issues involved and what different types of donors look for in a proposal.  Enrollees also learn how to computerize agency fund raising records.

Applied Project: Agency mission statement and case statement
