Episode #269
Do you find fundraising hard?
Are you new to fundraising, or having a hard time raising money?
In today’s episode, Shana Pennington-Baird talks about how she first learned how to fundraise. She talks about how by learning and following the steps that other fundraisers have taken, you too can raise money with greater ease.
Shana is the Development Director for Puget Soundkeeper Alliance. I met her when she came up to me at a conference to tell me how she had raised twice as much money with her campaign. It turns out that she had purchased “100 Donors in 90 Days” from me. And with the very first interview and action guide, she was able to double the donations that came in. You can hear her tell the story by going here: 100 Donors story

I’d love to know where/how exactly Shana learned to create her development plan. I’m still winging it far more than I would like, but not sure how to craft a detailed, step-by-step plan as she describes. Any suggestions?
Carolyn says
I would love to see a copy of the Gantt chart, even if blank. Do I need special software for this format? I have a fundraising plan but the visual format of a chart sounds much more productive.
Shana says
I am happy to send my Gantt chart template to anyone. Shana@pugetsoundkeeper.org. Very simple tool.
