The Fundraising Project

The plan should be created for any real 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that the student/group is interested in. The Organization we chose is the Trevor Project (https://www.thetrevorproject.org/). The plan should be written for a senior member of the organization’s management team. Therefore, the plan should be a practical document (rather than a research paper) that uses theories learned throughout the course to inform the analysis undertaken. The plan should demonstrate the concepts and themes learned in this course. In addition, students are encouraged to explore BoardSource.org for additional resources. The plan should be comprehensive, covering at least one year. Students will be provided a grading rubric that will show how fundraising plans will be assessed.

As we will talk about throughout this course, fundraising plans look different and may take many forms. However, the following headings may be useful to students who have never written a fundraising plan: Cover Page (title, time period of the plan, author, organization, any confidentiality restrictions) Executive Summary (no more than one-page review of the main proposals in fundraising plan Fundraising Audit (what information has been gathered or needs to be gathered to help the organization moving forward) SWOT Analysis Summary of Key Issues Assumptions (if any) Fundraising Objectives Fundraising Strategies Appendices (may show information on sample donor profile, sample gift chart or donor period, or other information that is relevant to the fundraising plan)
