FUNDRAISING AND DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP WITH CONSERVATION FUNDRAISING  
EXPERT ANDY ROBINSON
May 28 2008
Orlando, Florida

Hosted by the Alliance for Community Trees and the Arbor Day  
Foundation, this all day seminar will help you improve your skills and  
confidence level in approaching individual donors and in developing  
grant proposals. With generous support from the USDA Forest Service,  
the Community Tree Leadership Forum is a training series developed to  
suit the needs of community groups and nonprofits engaged in urban and  
community forestry. Learn from expert trainers among a group of  
outstanding peers engaged in community greening issues.

Andy Robinson provides training and consulting for nonprofits in  
fundraising, grantseeking, board development, marketing, earned  
income, planning, leadership development, and facilitation. Over the  
past twelve years, Andy has worked with organizations in 46 US states  
and Canada. He specializes in the needs of groups working for human  
rights, social justice, environmental conservation, and community  
development. Andy's engaging, highly interactive teaching style will  
challenge you to apply the concepts you learn and have fun doing it.

85% percent of charitable funds come from individual donors- not  
foundations or corporations. Learn how to build a fundraising program  
that honors your mission. The seminar will feature:

* Grassroots Grants
* Big Money for Small Groups
* The pros and cons of chasing grants
* Designing fundable projects
* Grants research: how to find the money
* Developing relationships with funders
* Building your proposal, piece by piece
* Why people give
* The basic principles of fundraising
* Raising major gifts through the mail
* Identifying prospective donors
* "The ask" -- face to face solicitation
