Please note this seminar was originally titled "Enhanced Strategies for Fundraising"

Course Description
In the early 1990s, New York City was in the throes of a recession. While many large nonprofit organizations were closing, a group of feisty emerging theatre companies blossomed and grew. Many have now become institutions themselves. Fundraising consultant Scott Cargle (who was part of that merry band) leads this half-day session, sharing strategies that helped cultivate and secure funding when money was scarce.

Learn creative ways of turning a crisis into an opportunity. Explore techniques for:

• - Securing funding from foundations that do not accept proposals
• - Creative ways to approach businesses for donations of cash, goods and in-kind services
• - Simple techniques for maximizing your base of individual donors

And learn the three magic words that make it easy to ask for money from anyone.
