<h3>Defining your organization's vision</h3>

<p>
<p><b>Development</b></p>

<p>Though most start-up organizations want to plunge right into fundraising, and indeed it might be prudent to seize an opportunity to do so, it is always a good idea to have a plan. </p>

<ul>
<li>Who sits on your development committee?</li>
<li>What are the strengths and weaknesses of your committee? What expertise are you missing?</li>
<li>What is your development plan?</li>
<li>What are the strengths and weaknesses of your plan?</li>
</ul>

<p><b>Donations</b></p>

<ul>
<li>How much do you receive in donations in an average year, or have you received in the past year? </li>
<li>What percentage of affected individuals donate?</li>
<li>What percentage of donations that come from affected individuals or families?</li>
<li>What percentage of donations come from unaffected individuals or families?</li>
<li>What sources have you not considered?</li>
</ul>
