Chapter 10: The Development Journey
Your First Step
The most important step you can take is the first one. Don't wait for the perfect moment or for a full development team to appear. Start with what you have and where you are today.
Action: Pick one action step from any of the previous lessons and dedicate the next 30 days to executing it.
Draft your case statement.
Start your donor database.
Begin planning a mission-centric event.
Identify your first major gift prospect.
Research a potential foundation or corporate partner.
Reach out to a contact at a government or educational institution.
This is the beginning of your journey. The path to a sustainable and impactful organization is not a straight line, but with a strategic approach and a dedicated team, your organization can achieve its most ambitious goals.
