Need for Symposium Organizations are always faced with competing priorities regarding donor opportunities. The purpose of this symposium is to provide organizations with a road map or criteria for assessing whether and how to respond to a donor opportunity, equip you with skills to proactively seek out new sources of funding from a range of donors, enable organizations identify strategic networking and marketing opportunities, positioning your organization as a sub or prime and know how to sequentially and effectively develop an articulate fund raising plan. This symposium is the first step in the process that ties legacy and strategic priorities to fund raising.
