According to Giving USA statistics, donations from individuals,
ordinary people like you and me, provide 83% of the private
funding that supports nonprofits. In this section you will
find tools and techniques you can use to raise money from

We express our gratitude to Wells Fargo for providing the funding

a highly accessible resource for all nonprofit organizations in
the region, providing information at the fingertips of executive
directors, staff and board members.
Wells Fargo has been a partner in the project from the beginning,
helping us to leverage the website grant into a regional resource
hub, and we appreciate their dedication.
