Surviving & Thriving in Tough Economic Times

The Not For Profit Communicators (NFPC) group invites you and your colleagues to a one-day forum to hear from communication experts who have thrived in tough times, found campaign success or just communicated well.

Join us on Thursday 22 October in Sydney.

You will walk away with some great campaign ideas, be able to produce a fundraising proposal that gets noticed, better understand your corporate supporters, and spruik your organisation using the latest social media tools.

There will also be sessions on campaign project management, developing a fundraising proposal, communicating with corporate supporters, social media and building on your success to re-engage your supporters for next year.

Learn how you can thrive, not just survive, in tough economic times.
