10. SUMMER INSTITUTEJULY 7-8, 2015 | TULSA, OK Lessons learned Rather than going all or nothing on collaborative fundraising, we need to use it strategically, and consider it one of many tools in the resource development toolkit. Projects that began as individually-funded projects are likely to continue that way absent a catalyst. New projects are more likely to be funded by collaborative fundraising. Partner support during individual resource development opportunities can be as or even more helpful than joint funding asks.
