Who leads fundraising? Why?
What can’t I ask for money as the director?

Education First, Ask Later
Make sure your services and values are known.
Develop a relationship before asking for money.
Don’t assume everyone knows what you do.

Education First, Ask LaterExamples:
Invite public and potential donors to tour the library
Show them your programs and services Be prepared to highlight future changes
and highlight your strategic plan “We’ve included a goal in our strategic plan of adding 10 more computers by the end of the year”
Invite them to events, book-signings
