When you evaluate your fundraising efforts - you have two sets of data sources: what you think and what you know. What you think is often based on gut, proven experience or conventional wisdom about performance. What you know is based on data analysis, proven statistics or measurable trends. To drive real fundraising results, you need to validate what you think with what you know and then take action. In this interactive session, participants will do a self-assessment of their fundraising efforts and then learn real strategies to translate what they know into an action plan to increase fundraising. With a special emphasis on event fundraising, we will address change management, participant and donor relations, segmenting communications and using technology to maximize fundraising.

An understanding of how your data should inform and influence your fundraising strategies
Strategies to take your analysis and turn it into a fundraising action plan
How to effectively introduce the plan to your organization and engage them in the implementation

Define Results
People want to feel like they
can make an impact with their
donation. If the objective of your
fundraising campaign can’t be
measured or quantified, we’ll
need to rethink it.
To create a movement you
need a clear, well-articulated
strategic plan that creates a
sense of urgency and provides
a definitive point of success. We
like the term “Project-Specific
Fundraising” .

The story is
everything
Connect with people and
compel them to donate to your
cause. Learning to tell a story
that others will share is an art,
its the foundation of marketing
and advertising.
“A person can have the greatest idea in the world.
But if that person can’t convince enough other people, it doesn’t matter”
— Gregory Berns

“Crowd Funding” the power Katipult was built to harness.

A personal connection with
your project manager, and
social validation from other
supporters go a long way.
11. On Katipult, a donation isn’t the end,
it’s the beginning.
Share your updates
There is a reason why people
love reality TV. Let your
supporters live vicariously
through you by sharing
progress updates, and fun
and touching moments
throughout the project.
This is how you will build a loyal
following and develop strong
relationships. There’s a better
chance they’ll donate a second
or third time if you do.
“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Learn to celebrate
small victories
Project momentum. Every
project can be structured with
milestones, and tasks required
to complete them. When you
complete a milestone, you
should dance in the streets
and let all your supporters
know that you’re one step
closer to results.
Again, there’s a better chance
they’ll donate a second or third
time if you do.
13. On Katipult, a donation isn’t the end,
it’s the beginning.
Build a following
We know you’re busy multi-
tasking your day-to-day, so our
opt-in notifications system will
take care of notifying supporters
of Milestone completions and
other project updates.
14. On Katipult, a donation isn’t the end,
it’s the beginning.
Get your supporters
to spread the word
The biggest problem in
fundraising isn’t getting people
to give, it’s getting people to ask
others to give. We implemented
our rewards system to help
you provide supporters that
successfully refer others
with incentives.
Our rewards system is simple,
fun, and often won’t cost you
a penny.
15. On Katipult, a donation isn’t the end,
it’s the beginning.
Our “Full-Cycle” approach to fundraising is fun, easy, and it delivers
results. We built the vision for fundraising campaigns that people
have asked for. Join our movement.
