In Nonprofit Fundraising, Consistency is the Path to Greatness

Image of a pathway to the mountains representing that consistency is the path to greatness in nonprofit fundraising.

Everyone wants the results of fundraising without the discipline, routine, and consistency it requires.

 

Consistency is the pathway to greatness. It closes the gap between good intentions and action.

 

But, this concept is counterintuitive in our world when everything is instantaneous, urgent, and viral these days.

 

There’s never been a more important time to create good, relational, high-ROI fundraising habits. Fundraising habits create the opportunities for the right outcomes.

 

Good habits create a chain reaction for an organization…

…cash flow smooths out

…reserves are built

…deficit budgets are no longer a thing

…relationships yield larger gifts

…visibility grows along with your donor pipeline

 

Last thing I'll say….

Sometimes the development team hasn't had the proper major gifts training needed TO BE consistent. I often hear, “I don't know what I don't know.” That's why too many teams default to appeals, events, site visits, and applications.
