Does fundraising always end up at the bottom of your to do list? You’re not alone, and it’s time to change that. In this engaging recorded webinar, you’ll discover how fundraising can actually be manageable (and even rewarding!) no matter how many hats you wear. Whether you're a camp director, program leader, or staff member balancing multiple roles, this on-demand webinar shows you how to make fundraising a seamless part of your camp's success.
Led by fundraising and camp experts Marna Redding, Chief Development Officer at the American Camp Association, and Raina Baker, Executive Director of Camp Beausite Northwest, you’ll get practical tips and strategies that actually work for camps. You’ll learn how to create a simple fundraising plan, integrate it into your everyday work, and feel confident in your ability to raise the funds your camp needs. Take this opportunity to level up your fundraising skills and set your camp up for long-term success, all while watching at your own pace on your schedule.

Marna Redding serves as chief development officer, leading business and funds development, growing resources, relationships, and partnerships to expand the work and influence of the American Camp Association. Marna is directly responsible for the design and implementation of strategies to identify funding sources through annual giving efforts, brand alliance, corporate and foundation funding. While not a camp kid herself, Marna resides in upstate New York with her husband and they are proud camp parents of a son and daughter who attend camp in Maine.

Raina Baker started going to camp in 1983 and hasn't missed a summer since! With over 30 years in the industry she is now the executive director for Camp Beausite Northwest, a nonprofit camp serving people with disabilities in Washington State. With a master's degree in organizational leadership, she has become incredibly passionate about all things funds development, strategic planning, and operations. She lives just down the road from camp with her husband Mark, and several fur babies including two corgis named Gus & Franklin.
