50 Asks in 50 Weeks is a "back to the basics" concept for executive directors and development directors who want to raise more money for their organizations. It specifically targets non-profit organizations with small development offices (0-3 paid staff members,) and provides clear steps on how to create a simple plan for raising more money. Most development directors are so busy doing day to day tasks of fundraising, including writing thank you notes, grant reports and newsletters; managing databases; creating budgets; and more, they don't have time or forget the most important thing – asking! This session will help participants create a development plan which ensures a diverse funding stream, a system for asking for gifts in smarter, more efficient ways, and ensuring they ask for gifts all year long. Brief discussions on event planning, grant writing, individual solicitations, and direct mail will be included.
