The Art of Raising Funds From Local Businesses
In this four-part series we cover the steps to take to build a sustainable Corporate Solicitations Program (CSP):
- The first module focuses on corporate giving trends, and how to leverage those trends when asking for support.
- The second module is a step-by-step tutorial on how to build or enhance your CSP.
- The third module is all about how to identify the best businesses to approach for support, as well as how to build a custom recognition package.
- And the final module focuses on how to develop the request for support, be it through a formal written application, email, phone, or face-to-face meeting.

These modules can be taken together to methodically build your organization’s capacity to raise funds from local businesses or as stand-alone learning opportunities.
