Fundraising in a rural community with limited staff
Presenter: Katie Davis, TREC Associate
Fundraising in rural communities. It’s not just about being local.
Without a doubt, there are unique fundraising challenges small organizations may face working in rural communities. And, there are opportunities too. In this session, we will identify opportunities and challenges in raising funds effectively across rural communities and introduce practical steps you can take to experience fundraising success, even if you are a fundraising team of one.
