Fundraising in Uncertain Time with Andy Robinson
Like anything else in life, fundraising works better if you have a plan — and even better if you follow it. In this workshop, we’ll discuss:
• Identifying the best mix of income for your organization
• Building an annual fundraising calendar
• Beyond dollars: Identifying other ways to benchmark your results
• Using your plan to educate your board, deflect random fundraising ideas, and stay on task
How to Center Race Equity in Your Organization’s COVID-19 Response
As the COVID-19 pandemic takes its toll across the United States, vulnerable populations (including low-income communities, communities of color, the elderly, and the disabled) are being disproportionately affected. The disparities faced by these communities, which are a reflection of the continuing consequences of inequality, structural racism, and unequal access to affordable health care — are a primary factor in the pandemic death rate. Join Independent Sector and Equity in the Center for an interactive conversation about how you can proactively apply a race equity lens to your organization’s COVID-19 response and help ensure that our collective pandemic-focused efforts prioritize race equity.
