RTS: 12-Month Development Plan Training Series

We hope you'll join us and the folks at Network for Good for our two-part training series on making your 12-Month Development Plan.In Part One, Kathleen Kelley focused on providing answers to three key questions:

  • What is the foundation of every development plan?
  • How much do you need to raise?
  • How are you going to raise it?

Check out the recording – for tips on how to improve how you answer these questions, prior to creating a development plan.
