Information Session and Resource Development Workshop
An informational session on the RFP, followed by a workshop on resource development, is scheduled for Wednesday, February 24th from 9-12 at MCAEL's offices at the Nonprofit Village at 12320 Parklawn Drive, Rockville, MD 20852. (Directions can be downloaded under Contact Us)
About the workshop: Creative and Practical Strategies for Raising Resources
We all know that government funding has shrunk, foundations have cut back, individuals are stretched thin, we're spending all our time energy keeping our programs running, and wondering how we're going to meet payroll. Sound familiar? What do we do? This workshop will provide an overview of promising practices for a range of resource development strategies - from earned income to different uses of volunteers. It will help participants think about creative and practical things they can do to increase resources for their organization, and provide space for participants to share their own experiences and ideas. Led by Hilary Binder Aviles of MOSAICA. Please RSVP to connect@mcael.org if you are planning to attend. No application is required.
