FUNDRAISING WORKSHOPS
We are pleased to present two new workshops in our 2011-2012 series of career guidance workshops geared toward the special needs of small ensembles: Creative Fundraising Strategies, and Tools for Success: Creating effective grants, grant budgets, and fundraising letters. In these two evening-length workshops. small ensemble musicians will learn the basics of how to get started in fundraising for their chamber music projects. Through materials and hands-on activities, participants will learn how to create a fundraising strategy that fits their particular needs.
