Fundraising for Survival: Lessons for Any Sized Organization, Part 1 of 2

Austin Pets Alive! began as a volunteer-led organization with no budget but with a big dream to end the needless shelter killing in Austin's city shelter. Although very difficult to get, money didn't hold this organization back from achieving its dreams and it shouldn't hold you back from achieving yours, either. Join fundraising innovator Maggie Lynch and learn how to raise money and how to get scrappy when you need to!
