Learn how to create a business plan that advances your nonprofit organization.

This program is presented in collaboration with the Arts & Business Council of New York.

Nonprofits with a business plan that anticipates potential fluctuations in revenue are generally better able to weather the storms of economic upheaval or any other external environmental changes.

Join us for a special workshop in which our panelists will explain the components of a professional business plan, how to tailor it to your particular mission, and techniques for carrying out your plan in order to attract the funders, and generate the earned income your organization will need to carry out its mission.

This written planning document makes a clear connection between mission and resources and can be put to good use to fundraise, develop earning potential, and raise awareness of your organization.
