SVN has partnered with the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy at Indiana University to develop this special 3-hour workshop on fundraising with an emphasis on supervised visitation programs. The Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy plays a leading role in moving philanthropy forward across the country and around the world because of the vision and generosity of the founders and leaders who foresaw the need to study, understand, and teach about this integral component of life and society.
Your organization is doing exceptional work. You are passionate about your mission. The potential is great if only more funding were available. Effective fundraising practices can be adapted to meet the unique realities of smaller SV programs. Efficiently use your time and existing resources – including board members and other volunteers – to achieve your fundraising goals.
