Santé bien être des aînés : Guide de collecte de fonds
Le but du présent guide est d’aider les organismes qui offrent des programmes de santé et de bien-être aux aînés des Cantons-de-l’Est historiques à élaborer des plans durables de collecte de fonds et à diversifier leurs sources de financement.
En se donnant un plan de collecte de fonds, votre organisme cessera d’être réactif pour devenir proactif. Au lieu de faire des pieds et des mains pour trouver du financement, vous serez en mesure de regarder vers l’avant, d’anticiper vos besoins et de travailler à les satisfaire à court et à long terme. Votre plan de collecte de fonds orientera vos efforts et agira comme une feuille de route; il vous aidera à demeurer dans la bonne voie et à garder le cap sur vos objectifs. Il vous aidera aussi à assurer la pérennité de votre organisme et de ses activités. En adoptant une approche plus systématique à la collecte de fonds, vous serez en mesure d’obtenir plus d’argent, de cibler vos efforts, de mesurer vos progrès et d’identifier les occasions favorables, ainsi que d’impliquer plus de joueurs clés dans la démarche – ce qui se traduira en fin de compte par un renforcement de votre organisme.
Le présent guide est destiné à rendre les organismes plus autonomes dans leurs efforts de collecte de fonds. Il existe de nombreuses ressources disponibles et différents moyens d’organiser vos initiatives de collecte de fonds. Vous êtes incités à examiner les diverses options qui s’offrent à vous et à déterminer ce qui convient le mieux pour votre organisme.
Un merci très spécial à la Fondation Uni-Aide qui a généreusement orienté le travail des créateurs de ce guide et mis en commun des plans de collectes de fonds passées.
