CHOOSE YOUR FUNDRAISING
METHODS
One of the most common misconceptions about nonprofit funding is that
it all comes from grants. And that grants are easy to get.
Want to start a new organization?
Just get a grant!
Strapped for program cash? “Why don’t you email Oprah?” (If you haven’t
heard that one yet, you will!)
There are so many ways to fund your nonprofit – and almost all of them
are far more effective than trying to hit up a celebrity for money:
Grants
Individual donations
Events (galas, showcases, “-thons” like walk-a-thons or phone-a-thons)
Major gifts
Planned giving
Member dues
Sponsorships
Earned income (providing training, renting your space, selling goods)
Monthly giving programs
Cause marketing and business partnerships
...and more!
