Developing a Fundraising Strategy

What is a fundraising strategy?

A fundraising strategy is a plan that sets out the funding need for an organisation, project or event, alongside the identified actions, timescales and possible funding resources to meet this need.

Why develop a fundraising strategy?

It is commonly recognised that better planning helps to avoid wasted time and resources. The development of a fundraising strategy should enable the people in an organisation to ensure that:

• there is a shared understanding of the aims and priorities for the organisation
• the agreed priorities are a ‘good fit’ with what the organisation is set up to do
• the agreed priorities are complementary to other local activities and services and
• don’t duplicate those that are being undertaken by other organisations
• there is a shared strategy that sets out how those priorities are going to be realised

This is increasingly important at a time when there is uncertainty about funding; a well developed fundraising strategy will help to:

• provide clarity about the organisation’s aims / priorities
• ensure that the priorities are realistic and achievable
• ensure better targeting of funders
• ensure the highest possibility of funding success
• encourage a shared responsibility for fundraising

What happens with a fundraising strategy?

A completed fundraising strategy can be used as a stand-alone document for a once-off

project, or as an appendix to an existing strategic / business plan. A fundraising strategy is
not a substitute for a business plan. A completed fundraising strategy is the first step of the
process, the most effective strategy will be reviewed to take into account changes within
and outside the organisation and to assess and measure progress.
Some ways to integrate a fundraising strategy into an organisation might include:

• regularly review the strategy
• build strategy up‐dates into meetings
• identify key milestones for the plan to measure progress
• circulate the plan to new committee members

What resources are needed to develop a fundraising strategy?

• People - Commitee members/Staff
• Time (Dependent on the number of sections completed) – some sessions could be a replacement committee meeting and others might need longer to complete – try to plan a timetable for completion before the process begins
• Commitment to the process
• A nominated person/s to guide the group through the exercises or an external facilitator
• A nominated person/s to collate the section write ups and finalise the plan which will form the basis of the strategy
• Relevant documentation i.e. constitution, strategic / business plan
• The guide will only be as useful as the information which is put into it

Hack your windows XP to a new Start Button

Now in order to change to text on your start menu from "START" to any thing you want, here is an very easy and cool tutorial.

In order to make the change we need to pen the explorer.exe file found in c:\windows\explorer . Make a backup copy of explorer.exe to explorer_backup.exe.

If any thing goes wrong you'll always be able to restore your backup and get back to the way it was before the hack.

Open the resource hacker and select the explorer.exe file.

Once you have opened explorer in Resource Hacker you will notice a menu appears on the left side of the program with a lots of different expandable menus columns. The category we are going to use is String Table.

- Double-click String Table which will show several numbers
- Double String 37 to expand it
- (IF you are using the Classic Layout rather than the XP layout, use number 98 instead.)
- Click 1033
- Double-click the start text in the right column.
- The text start should be highlighted and the surrounding quotes should not.
- Now type the new text you want in your start button. It cannot be more than 10 characters in length and must be surrounded by those quotes.
- Once you edit the text, the Compile Script button will become enabled. Click the Compile Script button.
- Click FILE-> Save As and save you new file as explorer.exe in the windows directory.

HACKING THE REGISTRY

Now we need to tell the OS to use our new hacked explorer file.

1. Click Start -> Run -> type in regedit and ENTER.

2. Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

3. Double click on the registry entry named Shell and change the value from explorer.exe to explorerhack.exe

4. Click OK to close the registry editor/

LOG OFF the user and log back in ENJOY you newly hacked START BUTTON with your text in it :)
