ACM's Conference featured session of the week is Zero-to-Sixty: What to Do When Your Organization has to Raise a Lot of Money in a Hurry. Just when you learn that your franchise fees have declined by 23% in last two years, you also learn that your cable regulatory commission’s savings are unexpectedly depleted. Your organization is new to grant and foundation funding at a time when federal budget cuts have fueled record applications to private foundations. You have a small number of donors. Winning video production contracts has not been easy. After taking a deep breath, what is your next step? Learn how one organization began to build a fundraising program from scratch in this case study on Capital Community Media in Salem Oregon. This interaction session will also help you begin to plan a fundraising strategy that aligns with the strengths of your organization and your unique community. Join speakers: Luis Mendoza the Executive Director of CC: Media, Alan Bushong, recently retired, founding Executive Director of Capital Community Media, previously Capital Community Television (CCTV) and Rebecca Burrell, a nonprofit consultant and coach, and a community media advocate based in Portland, Oregon.
