Elayne Howard & Associates presents “Fundraising 2.0” for Not-for-Profit Organizations

More than 15 not-for-profit organizations attended “Fundraising 2.0” at The Marriott in Conshohocken for a discussion about fundraising strategies in these troubled economic times. “Corporate donations are down considerably,” states Elayne Howard, principal of Elayne Howard & Associates, Inc. “This forum is a way for not-for-profit organizations to learn how to maximize their fundraising efforts and garner more financial support.” Teaming with Anna Doering of ADConsulting, a Pittsburgh-based consulting firm specializing in assisting small to medium-sized not-for-profit organizations and higher education, Elayne Howard & Associates addressed several questions about how and where to look for addition support. “Often organizations may not realize the wealth of resources within their own donorbase ,” says Ms. Doering. “Many undervalue the importance of their staff and volunteers in championing their cause.”
