Resource Development is the new skill every Fair CEO should have. Many Fairs, especially those with ties to Government, have created their own non-profit as a way to raise funds for building repair, infrastructure upgrades and vehicle replacement. Does your Fair have a separate non-profit? What is the purpose and role of that separate non-profit?
If you’re new to resource development or currently have a non-profit separate from your Fair, check out the Foundation Center http://foundationcenter.org/ . Their website has alot of useful information and training for grant writing, grant applications, and they have an online foundation directory.
