Preparation is needed to make the most of help from professionals in fundraising.
Also to work with work with charitable foundations would be very good. Determine what it is you wish to have funded. Set your priorities for seeking grants from foundations for projected new programs and services, to support on-going programs and services, or to provide annual operating funds. Those priorities must come from your Long-Range Strategic Plan in the furtherance of your basic Mission Statement. Check with your State Attorney General's office to see if that agency publishes a foundation listing.
