Radio Free 501c | The Endless Search for Program Funding with Gail Kulp, CAE May 15, 2023

<p>This episode: All nonprofit organizations depend on program funding, but 501c3 organizations (charities and foundations) are keenly aware of its importance when dues are not a revenue source. It&#39;s a never-ending search that requires balancing grants, donations, and sponsors -- and after the funding is received it&#39;s up to staff to implement steps to bring the programs to life! My guest, Gail Kulp, CAE, is the Executive Director of the Sea Tow Foundation, a group that educates the public about boating safety. We discuss their 4 major programs, how Gail works with Sea Tow&#39;s supporters, and the unique challenges that a small staff nonprofit faces (Sea Tow has 2 full-time staff). We discuss life jackets, e-flares, sober boat driving, and their awards program. I learned that the Susquehanna River is the longest non-navigable river in the United States. Why is that? Gail explains. She also shares an inspiration from McDonald&#39;s Corporation that helped increase donations. We have a great time discussing our love of boating and being on the water and how a strong funding program helps make the goals a reality. How do you balance your program funding?
