Are you up to date on the latest fundraising facts? Is your board?
As JVA’s Development Director Intensive is coming up this month, we always like to make sure that we have the latest data on overall fundraising, who is giving, what is effective and other best practices integrated into our training.
A few weeks ago, I was compiling the same information for a customized training for one of our nonprofit clients on Engaging Your Board in Fundraising, and decided to create a Fundraising Fact BINGO! game as a fun way to get everyone involved in the training session on the same page.
Want to test your knowledge of current fundraising facts?
Print out the Bingo card in this post, and circle your answers to the questions below. We’ll post the answers on JVA’s Facebook page on Friday, July 10.
