Dec. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- When you take on any kind of fundraising, it’s important to have a concrete plan. Without a plan, it can be hard to keep track of goals and objectives, which tasks are complete, and who is responsible for tasks that need to be done. A fundraising plan provides the structure for your organization’s efforts.
