3 Keys to Growing Fundraising Capacity

Strategy, Systems, and Support are the 3 keys to growing fundraising capacity.

If fundraising feels like one more thing on an already full plate, this 90-minute session shows you how to build the capacity to raise more by focusing your team's limited time on the fundraising that actually moves money. At the Conservation Lands Foundation’s Friends Summit, this workshop filled the room and hands were still up when time ran out. This is the deeper dive.

You’ll leave with tools you can use immediately and learn how to:

• Build a grant-ready budget that unlocks funding for costs you thought only general operating dollars could cover (most groups leave real money on the table here)
• Use a grant readiness checklist and free tracking system that cuts prep time and survives staff turnover
• Research smarter with free tools and a simple method to find who funds groups like yours
• Grow current funders into repeat and larger gifts by turning required reporting into cultivation
