5.0 Management Report (cont'd) An event sponsorship presentation/package has been developed to solicit sponsorship for events earlier in the year and will continue to be refined as PCSBV adds programs and services. A fund development goal was to focus on enriching the experience and engagement of current donors and to seek new individual and corporate support. Events have allowed us to achieve this goal & broaden awareness in the Bow Valley. The Annual Appeal brought in approximately $125,500. PCSBV events, programs, services, and tributes have grown the donor base by approximately 200 new constituents. Preparations are underway to launch a fundraising campaign in 2023 to seek donations with a particular focus on major gifts ($25,000+ per year). Master Campaign report process and tracking completed, and a new brochure developed incorporating updated language. The brochure will be used to accompany one-on-one meetings with prospective new donors as well as deepening engagement with current donors.
Learnings
Framing language in communications documents and meetings to convey the need for contributions to support PCSBV operations with or without a physical hospice building, as a few donors pulled back on the amount they contributed to the building in their annual giving Grant applications allow PCSBV to create awareness in the community. A rejection gives the opportunity to refine our language and understand the specific programs the grantors perceive as a need in the Bow Valley The depth of need in the community and how individual experiences with grief and palliative care bring in donors though many different avenues
Programs Achievements
