Top Questions Libraries & Friends Have About Fundraising
The right tools. At the right time. In the right order.
When do I contact prospects?
It's best to contact prospects and donors at least twice a year. Make sure you ask your donors for feedback on what you're doing so that they can feel invested in your vision.
How do I know who to contact?
Library Directors often believe they don't know enough people. You don't have to! Create a committee of volunteers to identify people interested in supporting your library.
What do I say?
The reason that your library is underfunded is that your donors don't understand the impact of modern libraries. Your library is so much more than 'just books'!
