About the presenter: Jane Calvin has been the Executive Director of the Lowell Parks & Conservation Trust (LP&CT) since 1995.  LP&CT is a small membership-based urban land trust that also focuses on youth and adult environmental education programs, land protection, historic preservation, and urban forestry.  Jane has been active in advocating for urban land protection throughout New England, coordinating several regional conferences and the Urban Land Protection Council
(http://www.lowelllandtrust.org/content/urban-land protection). Jane is a Certified Fund Raising Executive and holds a Masters in Environmental Management from the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. Jane’s other experience includes traveling solo around India and Nepal, teaching high school science, work as an Outward Bound instructor, and in forest policy.

About the workshop: Jane will focus her talk on fundraising at a smaller non-profit (especially from the perspective of an executive director at a small non-profit!).  She will also provide information on raising funds from private donors, building relationships with and researching foundations, and writing proposals.  The instructor will also bring copies of sample documents (like 990’s and grant proposals).

We hope to see you there.

Thank you,
TSM Team
