You need more major donors. Of course, who wouldn’t want Oprah or Ellen to notice their organization and put them on the map? Or have the local billionaire step up, out of the blue, to write a check? But fundraising isn’t about asking rich people for money. The long and winding road to major gift fundraising success for small shops.
Learning Opportunities
Strong consistent donor communications is a critical component of growing your organization’s individual giving program. Looking to grow your organization’s major donor program? Behind every successful major gift program you’ll find a strong donor communications program. You can’t have one without the other. In our work with thousands of nonprofit organizations over the years, we’ve found the biggest fundraising gains come from increasing donor communications — transitioning from one appeal to three or four, adding a print newsletter (or three) to the mix, upping the gratitude.
Your Donor Communications System is my online class to guide you in creating a system of growing your individual giving and generating revenue throughout the year. You’ll leave class with a solid plan to create the newsletters, impact reports, emails, thank you’s, appeals, and annual reports that make your donors want to give more than ever before. Even if you’ve got a limited budget (especially if you’ve got a limited budget!) and are short on time, we’ve got you covered. Learn more and enroll here.
