Show Us the Money - Fundraising Advice Needed!
CanBreathe
Estimated Time: 20 - 25 Hours Over 4 - 5 Weeks
We are a very small NFP in Christchurch working in the health sector. We are looking to grow our profile (at present we are relying on ideas from our Board members) and we also need to generate more untagged income. We're hoping a fundraiser might help us develop a realistic plan, give us some expert advice about where our easiest opportunities might be and, more specifically, help us develop a bit of a direct ask campaign for September Breath Better month. We have some ideas about what this could look like, but are also totally open to different concepts. We need to get some wins and start building a donor database. This is tied closely with profile building of course, so any abilities in that area would be more than welcome too!
