Money! Raising the resources to empower your teams and built equity for our mentees

Behind our work is a dedicated and passionate base of donors. Their contributions fuel our ability to run programming, purchase supplies, and remain a viable and safe nonprofit. Come learn how to mobilize your network, and the networks of your mentors, to raise funds for your goals. This training will cover a variety of strategies, including building a donor pipeline, leveraging peer-to-peer fundraising, stewarding donors, making a fundraising campaign case, and more.

Facilitator: Mike Foote. Mike built DREAM from a $0 annual budget to over $2M, including through major donors, government grants, private foundations, events, contracts and more. These funds have been put to use to support you, build facilities at Camp DREAM, purchase vans to assist in transportation, support staff salaries, secure supplies and much more. Mike has also directed fundraising campaigns for political candidates and follows a relationship-first model of fundraising.
