People give to people and because giving makes them feel good. Whether you have 100 donors or a 100,000 donors, the key to sustainable growth is creating an efficient system of being personal with all of them. I work with you to create your custom major gifts strategy (scaled and portfolio driven) and outline opportunities to move those strategies forward.
Major Gift Fundraising Program
Create a system of being personal.
You may have staff with great talent but who need some direction from a skilled and experienced practitioner to acclimate to the system and learn moves management.
By contracting the strategy service, you have the opportunity to extend services for up to 3 months of staff coaching wherein I advise your administrative staff on scaled actions and up to 2 major gifts officers (or appropriate staff) on moves management within their portfolio.
Through weekly working coaching sessions I help guide your talent in building relationships and achieving their portfolio fundraising goals. Portfolio coaching sessions are always real time working sessions - we cover strategy and high level issues to start and then dive deep on individual constituents in your portfolio to prepare for outreach/communications.
Through a 2 month process I will analyze your constituent data (current and prospective) to help prioritize both scaled and portfolio driven actions from a tested menu of best practices. Includes a consultation and staff interviews to understand your goals and staff capacity, and strategy/feedback sessions where I provide suggested portfolio division (prioritized) and lay out a calendar of initiatives to achieve your scaled and portfolio driven opportunities.
Strategy.
Coaching.
By contracting the strategy service, you have the opportunity to extend services for up to 2 months of gap support. This service is ideal if you find yourself between major gifts officers but need to move your fundraising forward. I will work with your administrative staff on scaled outreach, as well as either 1) guide and provide organized cultivation communications to a designated senior staff member for your prioritized portfolio(s) or 2) directly manage outreach and communications to an appropriate portfolio of donors.
