The basics of nonprofit fundraising are more important than ever in these challenging economic times. This fast-paced webinar is presented by three experts who share their tips on successful fundraising in today’s world. Redefining Audiences Who is your current audience and how can you engage new ones? Our country is undergoing dramatic changes as Baby Boomers age, immigration shifts take place, and household incomes struggle to keep pace. Looking at the most recent U.S. Census, Susie Wilkening discusses demographic change and the valuable way in which your organization can use census data to think about current audiences, future audiences, and their motivations and constraints. Creating Historic House Interpretive Plans That Connect Creating engaging historic house interpretation that really connects with your audience begins with a solid understanding of your site’s important stories. Guest speaker Nancy Bryk shows how to develop a research plan including research on the historical characters who lived in the house, the important events that took place there, and changes in the site over time. She discusses where and how to look for this information and then how to use worksheets to develop your interpretive plan based on that research. Roadmap Or Wheel Of Fortune? Which Would You Stake Your Organization’s Future On? History organizations work today in a world filled with shifting and often competing realities. It is no longer acceptable to simply be a protector and preserver of the past. Explore the importance of defining and evaluating organizational impact through strategic thinking and planning.
