Nonprofit Leaders: Fundraising that fully funds your entire organization every year is slower, thoughtful, and not rushed . . .

Nonprofit GrowthDevelopment
Written By Sherry Quam Taylor

Nonprofit CEOs: My client called me the other day to tell me he had grown a $1K gift to a $5K gift using the strategy tools we’d created together. I celebrated big time.

 

The reason?

 

Well, the process of increasing a gift from $1K to $5K is the SAME as growing a gift from $100K to $500K.

 

Now they know exactly how to 5X a donor’s gift.

 

That donor had always reactively just given $1K.

 

This is the real work of proactive, relationship-based fundraising:

👣Learning how to identify what’s blocking that donor from giving a larger gift

👣Leading them past those blocks

👣Confidently taking the proper time to wait for the ask

👣Then knowing how to ask (not by email, campaign, or event)

 

Sometimes good fundraising feels counterintuitive. We’ve been told for DECADES that fundraising is exhausting, urgent, fast, and deadline driven.

 

I don’t do urgent.

 

Fundraising that fully funds your entire organization every year is slower, thoughtful, and not rushed. If this doesn’t describe your development team, a shift needs to be made.
