Fundraising in the time of COVID: Canadian SMOs
About the Workshop
Faced with a global health crisis and economic upheaval, SMOs are experiencing significant challenges in their approaches to resource development. This workshop invites participants on a facilitated learning journey to explore their organization’s current situation, pivot their fundraising activities and design a way forward.
OBJECTIVES
During this interactive and reflective workshop, participants will engage in their learning by:
- Exploring crisis fundraising opportunities
- Reflecting on lessons learned following the 2008 Great Recession
- Assessing their organization’s current funding position
- Realigning 2020 fundraising goals
- Reflecting on donor expectations
- Examining online fundraising “good practices”
- Creating an action plan for moving forward
Over the course of the 2.5-hour workshop, participants will draft their responses to the pandemic by drafting a Fundraising Action Plan. Following the workshop, participating organizations will submit their plans, receive written feedback, and have access to a one-on-one coaching call.
