The 2009 ASHS Annual Conference

Objective(s):
Provide successful techniques for generating and managing funds by speakers sharing their different approaches. Provide interaction and discussion on this topic by having a panel discussion.

With budget cutbacks a certainty for the near future and grant monies becoming more competitive this workshop will provide creative ideas to resource outside funding and generate monies for sustaining consumer horticulture programs and positions.  Speakers will share their successful techniques through the use of foundation accounts, fee-based programming, 501c3  status,  sale of curricula, successful grant writing ideas and other methods.  The last part of the workshop will be a panel discussion where any participant can share successful methods of funding management.
