Get Creative! Tapping Into Alternative Funding Sources for Camps - May 21st, 2012


On Thursday, May 22, 2012, Natasha Dresner and leaders from Camp JORI and Habonim Dror Camp Moshava led a Webinar titled Get Creative! Tapping Into Alternative Funding Sources for Camps.

During this session, both camps shared their experiences finding new, lucrative funding sources outside of their traditional partners and supporters. Every nonprofit organization must fundraise to ensure a sustainable financial model. But camps can't always rely on their existing, traditional funders. Creative diversification of funding sources is an important ingredient to weathering any economy, especially a downturn. This Webinar shows how Camp JORI and Habonim Dror Camp Moshava found alternative sources of funding as well as other creative ideas for ensuring the sustainability of nonprofit camps.
