A Letter to Colleagues and Friends
 
ViolinDear Nonprofit Leaders and Friends,
 
In this edition of Knowledge Source,
we will address training for you, your staff and your volunteers.  You may ask yourself, "I am a development professional and my board is made up of seasoned volunteers who are dedicated to our cause.  Why would  need training?"  The quick answer is that it is always wise "to step back and sharpen the ax."  Read on...
 
For more information about how we can help your organization prepare for your fundraising future, please contact us at info@aldencharlesassociates.com.

Why should your organization consider solicitor training for your staff and your volunteers? The answer is simple - because too often we take for granted that the "people in the field" are prepared for anything that comes their way. 
 
Your next question may be, "I'm the manager of my staff and volunteers.  Why do you think I am not able to train them myself?"  Seeking the assistance of outside counsel to train your staff and volunteers is by no means an indication that you are not doing your job as a manager.  Instead, you should recognize outside counsel as a tool in your toolbox.  By seeking the assistance of outside counsel, you are in fact, doing your job as a manager. 
 
Alden Charles Associates provides training that will:
 
     -  Instill confidence in your staff and volunteers
 
     -  Provide needed information about the current fundraising 
        environment
 
     -  Provide methods for successful solicitation for all your   
        constituencies - annual fund, capital campaigns,
        challenges and more
 
For more information on ways Alden Charles Associates can train your organization to be successful solicitors, please contact us at info@aldencharlesassociates.com, or visit our website at www.aldencharlesassociates.com.

Seeking outside counsel to assist your organization with fundraising is a wise decision. 
 
At Alden Charles Associates, we understand that nonprofits are feeling the crunch during these cost-conscious times.  You will find that our affordable fees and packages make it possible for you to build your organization's budget, not bust it!  Our fees take into account your budget, not a percentage of what you expect to raise.  
 
There is no need to raise your goal to meet our costs, and the fees you pay won't help us pay off expenses incurred by someone else's campaign.  They are put right back into building your organization and services.  By partnering with Alden Charles Associates, you are making an investment in your organization's success, allowing you to better serve your community.

     -  General fundraising counsel                
 
     -  Annual fund management
               
     -  Capital campaign counsel
 
     -  Proposal and grant writing
               
     -  Prospect research
 
     -  Event planning
