The Coronavirus Threat to Fundraising
Are your revenue streams in jeopardy from the virus disruption?
This is not the time to shy away from fundraising efforts. You may be threatened with losing funds from events, fees for service, ticket sales, or donor giving.
It’s imperative to focus on fundraising beyond event fundraising and have a fundraising system in place – a virus threat or not.
It means you go about fundraising differently.

You need the contributions.
