Participants will learn:

• Where nonprofits get their funding.
• Why your nonprofit might choose to prioritize fundraising from grants, individual donors, events, and other sources.
• What it means to make your funding sustainable.
• The difference between restricted and unrestricted funding.
• The Donor Cultivation Cycle- the framework for identifying and building relationships with your donors and funders.
