180 Ways to Raise Funds and Cut Costs in a Recession.
Twenty-seven development professionals describe how to raise funds, cut
costs and retain donors in an economic downturn.
In January, 2009, I asked a group of more than 7,500
fundraising and development professionals what steps they are taking to raise funds and reduce costs during the 2008/2009 recession.
Those that responded came from just about every area of the non-profit world, including children, environment, human rights, cultural, education, social services, religion, international relief and development and healthcare.
I gathered their remarks, tips and suggestions into categories, eliminated the repetitions, and now present their advice for you to learn from—and profit from—during these tough economic times.
