Your fundraising plan should include a detailed activities calendar showing all the various ways you plan to generate funds during the year. You need two main pieces for your fundraising plan: a yearly calendar and a 90-day action plan. Because if the plan isn’t in writing, it isn’t real.

Get a legal pad and a pen or pull up a Google Doc or a Word Doc. Block off time on your calendar for fundraising planning.

You want to make a note of this in your file, on your calendar, some kind of system that you have.

Many people use Google Docs for this, though I find the interface a bit confusing. Here's a sample document that you can add to and change to get the feel for wiki editing, this time using a wiki service called WetPaint. (I applications (Google Docs and Google sites). Do you need a way to author and revise documents with others?
