Description: A good fundraising pyramid has a strong base of support from many individual donors who give smaller gifts. For many donors, this is their point of entry to your organization. Moving donors up the pyramid through their giving is imperative to building our organizations capacity to grow and serve our communities. Major gift donors are those we reach out to individually, one-on-one. How we do this effectively and based on donor needs.
This interactive session will answer your questions and present how to: Determine who are your potential major donors and how many you can handle effectively, Use electronic screening-if appropriate, Use tools effectively to engage donors from annual giving to major gift giving, Engage the Board in giving and getting, Determine case for support, and Create a cultivation and solicitation plan for each donor.

The presentation will demonstrate how to assess whether a nonprofit organization has a culture of philanthropy so critical to meeting mission-driven objectives. It will use a framework based on the four pillars of fundraising success: case for support, leadership alignment, donors/prospects, systems (to see if there are any gaps), and provide concrete steps to address them.
CEOs and boards of non-profit organisations can add great value to the fundraising process but many are unsure what their role is and how to get started.
These slides which follow show some of the messages we use in our seminars with CEOs and Boards.

SWOT's Up? How to Do a Strategic Self-Audit of Nonprofit Strengths & WeaknessesBloomerang
https://bloomerang.co/resources/webinars/
A SWOT analysis takes a structured approach that looks at where you are and where you’re headed, based on discernible internal and external factors. Claire Axelrad, J.D., CFRE will share useful guidelines and exercises you can take back to your team.
Note: This slideshare is of Version 1.0 published in 2015, Version 2.0 was published in 2021.
The first version was published on a free-but-donate, effectively on the basis that you made a donation to Resurgo Spear if you enjoyed it. In that spirit, it will continue to be freely available (although some of the examples are now dated). v2.0, the latest version of the book, is available at: https://fundraisingfieldguide.com It has many more updated examples, content, and references.
The Fundraising Field Guide was written to help early-stage tech startup founders decipher and navigate the fundraising process. It is based on a collection of blog posts published on my site thedrawingboard.me and has been published using Reedsy, a marketplace for self-publishers to connect with an online community of editors, illustrators and marketers. The book provides an overview of the common challenges experienced by entrepreneurs when going through the funding process.
I hope you enjoy it!

“Charity

Philanthropy,

getting

yourself
really
involved

doing
things
that
