Thanks to funding from the Central Okanagan Foundation, KCR Community Resources is offering a completely updated eight module Fund Development Overview, facilitated by fundraising professionals Kathy Butler (CFRE) and Shannon Jolley, who have been working on updating the curriculum. Starting February 4, this workshop will be critical for individuals that are responsible for creating the Fund Development Plan for their organizations, especially in these turbulent times.
Kathy Butler, CEO of Circumference Consulting and Senior Consultant with Global Philanthropic Canada, had already started updating the modules to reflect emerging trends and new information, when COVID changed everything, including how non-profits are able to fundraise.
“Those organizations that did not have a fundraising plan, have really suffered,” says Butler. “Organizations absolutely need a plan and especially a comprehensive plan. It should be diversified but focussed and it looks at all of the opportunities that are available to the organization.”
Shannon Jolley, a member of the Association of Fund Development and Development Manager with JDRF, created a new part of the curriculum focussed on special events and grants, including information on moving events to virtual formats.
The workshop will be delivered virtually, Thursday mornings from 9:00 am – 12:00 noon and is intended for adult learners and professionals in charge of their organization’s fundraising activities. The curriculum offers conceptual learning and experiential activities and participants will work on their organization’s fund development plan during the program.
