What if raising more donations for your nonprofit was simple and fast? 

 

Welcome to a monthly training series helping you raise more money in less time

  

Fundraising has never been more important or demanded so much courage. 

 

Is this you?  You're struggling to get in-person visits with donors.   Or get your foot in the door. 

You break into a cold sweat thinking about asking donors for money.  Your top prospects won't return your emails or phone calls.  You aren't sure which donors to focus on or how much you can realistically raise.  

Your board is full of "idea fairies" and your patience for them ran out last year. 

Like it or not if you're going to succeed you must: 

âś“ bravely make your case

âś“ strengthen donor relationships

âś“ write the best appeals you’ve ever written

âś“ zero in on your BEST prospects 

âś“ solicit the big gifts with confidence  

âś“ cut through your donor’s crowded inbox to win their hearts, minds & wallets

How will you do it?

December Workshop:  How to Craft a Fundraising Plan

 

Are your fundraising operations disorganized, unplanned, last-minute, or reactionary?  

If your largest funder went away tomorrow would you be able to make up the difference?

A whopping 57% of nonprofits don't have a written fundraising plan.

Look, you wouldn't drive a car blindfolded, so why would you fundraise without a plan?   Your success depends on the decisions you make about your fundraising strategy. 

Organizations with a written fundraising plan consistently outperform those without them.

Ready to outperform your competition in 2025?

It took a lot of inspiration and a truck-load of guts to get to where I am today. 

I have helped thousands of fundraisers land big gifts, delight their donors, and love their jobs…all because I use proven systems and methods.  Because nobody wants theory!
