Big revenue goals take time. Big fund diversification goals do also.

 

Both require a multi-year approach and disciplined effort. 

 

Therefore, every hour your fundraising team spends generating revenue must be spent well. Their strategy, model, and activities must be rooted in a dollars-to-hours plan.

 

But, what do I see all too often? Teams spending  too much time on expensive and transactional fundraising activities…it’s a bit of a fingers-crossed mentality and it’s why they’re not hitting goals. 

 

👉 It’s why big revenue plans aren’t met and your income statements aren’t diversified enough.

 

If you want to diversify revenue by 2Xing your charitable dollars…

You need to 2X VERY SPECIFIC High-ROI efforts.

Not 2X your appeals

Not 2X your applications
