Does fundraising make you nervous? Is it a task for “someone else” to do?  Do you have trouble making and closing the “ask?”  Then this is the session for you.  Following a panel presentation by skilled fundraisers, we will drill down into the challenges you face daily.  Bring your budgets and samples of your fundraising materials.  You will leave with renewed appreciation, inspiration and courage for raising the money you need to accomplish your goals, and the knowledge to develop long-lasting and mutually-beneficial relationships. 

Who should attend:  ALL Main Street Maine managers and board members, all Downtown Network coordinators, Promotions and special event committee members and everyone involved in raising funds to grow and sustain downtown revitalization programs.
