Maine Downtown Center Webinar

Please join us for our first Maine Downtown Center webinar of 2020. Fundraising events can be successful because they engage new volunteers, are easy to plan and implement, or raise a lot of funds. We will present some best practices for small organization fundraising efforts and share some successful events currently being used by our downtown organizations statewide. Registration is required and the webinar will be recorded.
