Take Action to Restore LIHEAP Funding to $5.1 Billion

Fundraising Resources for NFFN Members

An essential role of the National Fuel Funds Network is to assist members to improve their fundraising results. Over the years, NFFN has provided training and best practices workshops at its national conferences, responded to specific member requests with information from its data bank, referrals to other members and queries to the entire membership list on behalf of an inquiring member. In 2008, the Network convened the Victorine Q. Adams Institute, gathering 70 development professionals from the charitable energy assistance community across the country for in-depth discussions on fundraising practices and issues.

Some of the presentations from the Adams Institute and from national conferences from 2008 to 2011 are listed below. Please avail yourself of these resources and please share similar resources with NFFN members by emailing them to info@nationalfuelfunds.org.
