FRIENDS DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE

Development needs your help! Funds raised by the Friends go to buy books for the library first and foremost. Additional funds support current library programs and new programs that would otherwise go unfunded. No donation is too small.

Your experience is valuable to us.

Have you worked with a nonprofit?
Written a grant application?
Are you great at meeting new people?
Are you familiar with the people and businesses in our surrounding community?
Do you want to help the library in any way you can?

The development committee is responsible for overseeing and advising on the organization's fund-raising activities.

Main duties are:

• Set policies, priorities, and goals for fund-raising programs
• Review the ongoing performance of each campaign/project
• Evaluate campaign achievement versus its objectives
• Identify and rate all major prospects for support
• Recruit key volunteer leadership and solicitors for the organization's fund-raising campaign

Grants, annual, capital, and endowment campaigns are broken into at least five divisions:

• Major corporate and business gifts
• Smaller corporate and business gifts
• Foundations
• Major individual gifts
• Smaller individual gifts
