New Mexico MainStreet Institutes and Meetings
Training Institutes
Annually, the New Mexico MainStreet Program offers intermediate-level training Institutes in topics such as fundraising, volunteer development, design management, historic preservation, economic development, and tourism. These MainStreet Institutes feature specific topics that address the general areas of the Four Points, fundraising, and grant writing. The Institutes are geared toward MainStreet managers, board members, and committee members but are open to representatives of non-MainStreet communities as well. Registration is required for all Institutes.

March 16, 2012 (1 day) — Albuquerque, NM
Member fee: FREE, Non-member fee: $50.00
Just like our automobiles, our fund raising efforts periodically need a “tune-up” to ensure our programs can make the long journey down the road of revitalization. Bring your fundraising materials, plans and questions to receive a mini “fundraising tune-up.” You will return to your communities with more air in your tires and a fundraising plan that is operating on all four cylinders.
Location: The United Way of Central New Mexico, Suite 100 Training Room 2340 Alamo SE, Albuquerque, NM.
Final date for registration: March 09, 2012
We Will • Review together the finding of an on-line survey that YOU, the local nonprofits and Main Street communities, indicated was working or not working in your fundraising. • Have fun with a “Menu of FUNraising Ideas for Board Members” to get them excited about asking for support. • Have two professionals who will be available to review your current annual giving materials and approach and provide 30 new ideas to boost your 2012 campaign. • Share together during a roundtable discussion secrets or tips that have actually helped raise funds in your local program.
