If I had any interest at all in fundraising, I would probably find $150 to take this upcoming webinar with Kim Klein. But since I don't have any interest in fundraising at all, I hope someone around here does.

Upcoming Webinars:
Creating a Fundraising Philosophy with Kim Klein
January 12, 2009 at 10 am PST
Presenter: Kim Klein, Klein & Roth Consulting and Founder of the Grassroots Fundraising Journal
Most organizations know that they should have a gift acceptance policy or investment criteria. But few have an overall written fundraising philosophy—we raise money where we can to do the work that needs to be done. In other words, in order to be the most mission-fulfilling organization that you can be, where should you get your money from? And how can your fundraising promote your mission? What is the role of foundations, corporations, individuals, government, and earned income in helping meet that mission?
Our lack of a coherent fundraising philosophy is leading us down a destructive path as programs that should be funded by taxes suffer cuts and replace their funding with foundation grants, or organizations that should be funded by individuals turn to earned income instead. Many of these organizations wind up going out of business altogether, decreasing the services available to the community. In this webinar, we will discuss how organizations can develop a fundraising philosophy, and how such a philosophy can lead an organization to raise more money.
