What is a Development Audit and when does your organization need an audit? Contributed by: Linda LysakowskiThursday, September 24, 2009 (3 years 232 days ago) A Development Audit is an internal assessment of your fundraising program and your readiness to embark on new development ventures. The Development Audit looks at involvement of board, staff and volunteers in the fundraising process and offers recommendations on how to best use the human resources available to the organization. It further evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of your development systems, including fundraising software. The audit also offers suggestions to help improve donor communications and stewardship.

About What Are You Passionate? Review by: Linda LysakowskiWednesday, February 08, 2012 (1 years 95 days ago) Yesterday my new books arrived at my doorstep, Raise More Money from Your Business Community.

My hope is that we will see that number rise to 10 percent because nonprofits will have learned how to better approach businesses in their communities. ______
