Are your goals clearly articulated? Is it obvious what difference you make? Will they make a contribution or become a friend? Will someone attend your fundraisers because they believe in the work you are doing? How much do you need - for what? BUDGET Organization Design Econ/Restructuring Promotion Operations Communication Initiatives, tools Physical rehabilitation and Improvements Education and assistance Downtown Master Plan implementation Education and assistance to existing businesses and property owners Entrepreneurship development Events Image & branding campaigns Use work plans to define your budget and funding needs Let me know where Main Street intends to invest my money

3 Who Should Financially Support Downtown? 1. Property Owners 2. Local Residents & Consumers 3. Retail Business Owners 4. Service Business Owners 5. Financial Institutions 6. Utilities & Local Corporations 7. Municipal Government 8. County Government 9. Preservationists 10. Others Those who benefit from a revitalized downtown, should be proactively supporting revitalization efforts. Typical Funding Sources for Main Street City/Town (County) 25-50% BID, EID, DDA, etc % Downtown business & building owners 15-20% Industries & financial institutions/utilities 25-40% Resident / private citizens 5-10% Fundraising Events (festivals/merchandise) 10-20% Develop Your Materials Let potential funders know how much of a difference their support will make Ask for their support Before, during or after an event Let them know ongoing support is needed too.

4 The Fundraising Plan Components of the Plan - Municipal contribution - Annual Pledge Drive - Friends of Main Street/Residents - Grants - Merchandise Sales - Sponsorships - Special Event and Special Project income - BID, DDA, TIF, EID (other assessment districts With Nonprofits every board member should make a contribution. Professionally and personally. How can you ask others for money if the board hasn t given?

5 Funding Message Is it clear to everyone that you need their support/investment? Use your communication tools to share your fundraising message goals, progress, achievements City/Town Funding Why should the City/Town fund Main Street? Economic Impact (business and job growth) Tax rate improvements Reduced municipal costs Main Street does work that the town otherwise would have to do or pay for Helping businesses to stay open/recruiting new ones Revitalization takes time Leverage public dollars with private money Increased volunteer base for the community Positive perception of the entire community Better goals toward a healthy economy

6 Assuring City/Town Funding Communications Educate (especially newly elected officials and key city staff) Promise and Performance (service agreements) Value added collaborations In-kind support from local govt. (do you track this?) The value of volunteer hours Present the expectation that they will continue to invest in the downtown with $$$ Starting the Annual Campaign Assign a Campaign Chair - Organization Chair - Board Chair (early organizer) - Local Celebrity/Wealth Ask every board member to make their personal contribution Set a Fundraising Goal Identify potential supporters, investors, members, etc. Split goal among categories Establish the timeline ideally 4-6 weeks Annual Campaign Steps Continued Prepare materials/campaign Assign Askers and Train Get two or three (board members or investors) to pledge significant gifts/challenge others Publicity and Kickoff Contact and Ask Thank and Celebrate Record, remind, renew Maintain database A systemic problem that stops organizations from successful fundraising is they are unable to state the obvious What difference do we make?

7 Friends of Main Street Benefits of a Healthy Commercial District for: Local Residents and Consumers Enhanced marketplace (better shopping and the benefits of shopping locally) ll Sense of pride in Downtown Social/cultural activities Opportunities to keep kids in town Sense of hometown community Opportunity to participate/volunteer Better communication Political advocate Home values increase Fundraising Letters Main Street Weekly & Samples in the Solution Center Fundraising Letters 10 Year Anniversary of their Main Street Program Combed records for anyone who ever supported their program

9 Solicit Businesses doing business in the District Ask businesses in the district to make a list of businesses they use and community organizations (trash haulers, uniform and carpet supplies, restaurant and beverage suppliers, contractors, planners, etc.) Have those businesses hand letters to those vendors, or mail with invoice payment.or go higher up. Explain the benefits for them to support your downtown organization Follow up with a reminder Sample Letter in Solution Center Letter for business Owners to send to their vendors Sample is available in the Solution Center on the NMSC web Page.

Be sure to: Invite them to annual meeting Send them an annual report Invite them to a special event Send thank you notes Send thank you notes Acknowledge supporters at event verbally and with banners Get your board to be intentional with them Invite them to a special donors reception and/or tour of the downtown

10 How Much Do Your Events Cost? In staff time? In volunteer time? In city time? In real dollars? In reputation? How can you earn income? Special Events and New Funding Break even or not?

16 Three Essential Ingredients for Successful Fundraising Events: 1. Clear purpose a. Fit with the mission of the organization b. Promote the organization s ongoing efforts and foster involvement c. Raise funds for more than the production of the event (program, projects) Three Essential Ingredients for Successful Fundraising Events: 2. Organizational Capacity because special events are some of the most common and perhaps most consistent funding sources for small nonprofits, they require (and sometimes drain or redirect away from other important efforts) a. Time: for planning, execution, and assessment Consider your calendar, the community s, other organizations b. People: Staff / volunteers to coordinate tasks for each event Current programs overall work load for staff and/or volunteers Avoid adding more responsibilities to your current volunteers, events should be used to recruit new volunteers (first for the event, then for other projects or committees, then for board) c. Partners in place or needing to build Media (promotion), municipality (services), businesses, organizations, etc. Three Essential Ingredients for Successful Fundraising Events: 3. Financial Capacity you either have to first recruit the money in order to make the event happen or have money to produce it and expect to raise additional funds. a. Capacity to produce the event pay for preparatory activities (deposits for entertainment, production of promotional materials, etc. As well as paying for the time from your staff to dedicate to the event planning and execution. b. Capacity to produce in addition to the event in addition to covering the costs for event production, the event must have fundraising potential for outlined projects or for operations.

17 Earned Income and Grants Investing idle money Endowments long term strategy Commitment to setting aside a percentage of all event income. Grants project specific BIDs (Business Improvement Districts DDAs (Downtown Development Authority) TIF (Tax Increment Financing EID (Economic Improvement Districts) URA s (Urban Renewal Authorities) A&E (Arts and Entertainment) Special Districts Q & A Please type questions in the chat box See you in Milwaukee!
