Financing Not Fundraising: Creating a Financing Plan – Recorded Webinar

“The entire presentation was excellent!”

“I loved the reframing of financing for desired results instead of funding for operations…your message to wed money to the mission was a big AHA moment – and am now figuring out how to bring this to life for staff and board.”

If you are serious about finding a way out of the nonprofit starvation cycle, you need a clear plan to get there. The only way you can raise the money it will take to accomplish your goals is to get strategic. And that means you need a strategic financing plan. Our  Financing Not Fundraising webinar “Creating a Financing Plan” can help you do just that.

A nonprofit financing plan is different that a typical nonprofit fundraising plan for many reasons. Here is how they differ:

• A fundraising plan sets goals only for private revenue streams (foundation grants, individual gifts), but a financing plan includes goals for all money flowing to the organization (government grants, earned income, etc).
• A fundraising plan’s dollar goals are based on what the nonprofit thinks it can raise, but a financing plan’s dollar goals are based on what the nonprofit needs in order to meet the goals of their organization’s strategic plan.
• A fundraising plan is created only by the fundraising staff with no input or knowledge from the rest of the organization, but a financing plan is created with the whole organization’s input (board and staff) and is fully integrated into the organization’s overall strategic plan.
• A fundraising plan only includes activities that raise money for programs, but a financing plan includes strategies for raising infrastructure dollars as well.

This interactive webinar will help nonprofit leaders break down the steps of creating a financing plan. Webinar participants will think through how to:

• Set goals for ALL revenue streams flowing to the organization
• Tie their financing plan to their organization strategic plan
• Determine the infrastructure dollars they need to raise
• Create tactical steps to make the plan a reality, with activities, deliverables, people responsible, timeline
• Divide tasks by staff and board members
• Develop ways to monitor the plan going forward
