Fundraising and Development begins with people. Relationship
building is the foundation on which most fundraising and development takes
place. People give money to people, not to causes or organizations. As community
leaders, you are ideally suited to raising money that generates non-dues
revenue for your club, district, state, region, and GFWC.
Fundraising
and Development is a more contemporary term for what we traditionally have
called Fundraising. Developing funds is more comprehensive and far reaching
than just raising funds for a specific club cause or project. It involves using
a wide array of approaches as well as allocating monies on an annual basis to
an endowment or other fund. Establishing a Fundraising and Development plan
will help sustain the financial security and integrity of our Federation, as
well as your club, district, state, and Region.
