As the economy comes out of the recession, economic development organizations everywhere are experiencing decreases in traditional funding sources. This can be particularly difficult for small communities that are more reliant on public-sector support. However, a successful fundraising campaign can alleviate some of the strain on organizational budgets and allow ongoing support of vital economic development programs.

Join IEDC on April 16th to learn useful tips for successful fundraising in smaller markets during the economic recovery. This web seminar will highlight:
• How to build support and strategic partnerships for the campaign
• Key audiences to target for contributions
• Effective and inexpensive fundraising tools
