Plan ahead. This year’s resources were generated with
last year’s planning. Build relationships with funders, banks and
organizations that have done what you are trying to do. Develop the systems within your organization that will
allow you to make good resource allocation decisions. Improving efficiency and productivity will allow you to
do less fundraising. Pursue Federal funding only when it is cost effective to
do so and is consistent with the goal of generating more revenue than expenses.
