It can be difficult to operate a market solely on vendor fees. If a market wants to expand a program, hire a paid manager, or increase the advertising budget, it may be necessary to do some fundraising. Market events, like local food dinners, can add to the market’s finances. Sponsorships are another means to add to your budget, while gathering community partnerships. This session will explore various fund raising opportunities, including how to create an “ask” for support. 

This webinar is given by Margaret O'Neil, former Friends of the Rochester Public Market Program Director, and Jackie Farrell, former Westside Farmers Market Manager. Watch the webinar prior to completing the quiz and homework.
