Overview: "Fundraising Basics"

Libraries of all types experience fluctuations in funding from their communities or parent organizations; often finding themselves needing to do more with less. As a result, libraries may need to develop new revenue streams, and one way to accomplish this is through fundraising. But many of us don’t know where to begin. This webinar will cover basic fundraising and offer tips for identifying and approaching donors

Learning Outcomes:

• Learn the basic steps of successful library fundraising.

• Understand how to identify and approach prospective donors.
