Non-profit Fundraising 101- with Marketing Pro Ken Engelman-Wednesday, June 3 at 6:00 p.m. (DeMayo room)

Marketing Professional Ken Engelman will provide you with a playbook to help your community nonprofit move beyond survival and into real sustainable growth.

• Recruit and retain volunteers before they age out
• Build trust and credibility where it matters most—right in your own community
• Increase awareness without paid advertising
• Tell your story in a way that inspires people to act
• Build partnerships with local businesses, schools, and civic groups
• Strengthen fundraising efforts without exhausting staff or volunteers
