Our Development Plan template will help your board (and CEO) understand what you are doing and why. It helps build buy-in and clearly outlines the plan you have to raise the needed income for your nonprofit.
The template makes it easy to present a coherent plan for fundraising that will NOT burn you out:
Articulate your mission and goals.
Analyze prior year/s income and present trends.
Includes a fundraising budget.
Includes sample strategies to meet fundraising goals.
Includes a calendar section so you are not scheduling a gala at the same time as a big grant is due.
When board members understand the strengths-- and weaknesses-- of your organization, they will gladly make investments to improve it.
And, you can use the Strategies page as a template for your monthly fundraising report to the board!
