BUILDING FINANCIAL SECURITY
THROUGH LIBRARY FUNDRAISING

In order to offset the budget cuts that libraries have dealt with in 2010, and the inevitable cuts that they will again face in 2011, the time for fundraising innovation is here.

 

Learn how to develop a clear and consistent fundraising message that is essential to your fundraising goal.

 

Some of the ways you can raise revenue are:


  • Planned Giving - Libraries are well positioned to provide a Planned Giving Program
  • Build an endowment
  • Database development
  • Parties with a Purpose
  • Community/Corporate Partnership


    • Remember - many major donors do not hold library cards but they do VALUE libraries and have a library story in their past.
