Fundraising is essential for non-profits. It raises awareness of the organization, can attract grants diverse financial support, and provide opportunities to cultivate relationships with donors, potentially leading to greater involvement, such as volunteering or becoming board members.

Community engagement is vital to achieving your mission and goals. Building relationships within your community not only raises awareness but also deepens the connection to your cause. This engagement is crucial not just for newcomers but also for your existing supporters. Even your most ardent supporters may struggle to stay connected if the only communication they receive from you is a request for a donation.
