Hi John,

Are you seeing fundraising staff jobs that are in jeopardy? We certainly are.

It's very concerning to us that so many development staffers are being laid off and/or furloughed for budgetary reasons.

But .. . there's hope!

Today, we are sharing a plan for justifying the fundraising expenses within your organization.

And we want to show you how to communicate with the decision-makers. You know them - they are the ones who don't understand the relationship between fundraising and cash flow.

My consulting partner, Kathryn Gamble, is writing today on one of her favorite topics:

Save Your Development Team's Jobs: Create a Data-Based Fundraising Plan

She's giving you:

  • 4 ways to use your fundraising plan as a communications tool.
  • 3 steps to create your own data-based fundraising plan.
  • How to approach the critical conversation between you, your CEO, and CFO.

We discussed this topic on our Facebook Live broadcast. You can watch it here. Do join us every Wednesday at noon on Facebook - it's a great time when the community comes together for moral support, strategic thinking and a pep talk from us.

We send our very best wishes to you and your team during this wild, unprecedented time. I do hope you are ok, and that you are hanging in there!

Please reach out to us if you need support.

Warmly,
