Whether you’re going to voters, city councils, school boards, college board of directors, or any other funder, the fundamental issues are the same: how do you convince the stewards of a limited budget that the library is their best investment?

Learn how during our immersive online course—Fund Your Library: Tools and Tactics for Getting to Yes. You'll gain a thorough understanding of how to best pitch your library to stakeholders and members of your community in order to get your library fully funded.

Join experienced industry leaders in live interactive sessions on June 7 & 21 from 2–4 PM ET—which will be bridged with homework, online workshops, resources, and discussions. Topics will include deep community engagement, finding your impact, identifying and activating your target audience, grant funding, and more.

Most important, you’ll work in small groups with facilitators experienced in fundraising to complete assignments and field research in your library that will fuel your fundraising ideas.
