Building a "Fundable" Strategic Plan - Webinar (04/08/20)

It’s often difficult to motivate boards, donors, grantmakers, voters or elected officials to say yes to new funding for new ideas.

A “fundable strategic plan” explains not only where the money is going but also who is spending it. Funders and supporters need to know how outcomes will be enhanced through new features at the library, and diminished across the community if it is not funded.

In this webinar, EveryLibrary’s executive director John Chrastka will share actionable insights from over 100 library funding campaigns about inclusive planning and uncover what truly drives successful plans.
