-
- Non-Profit
In this episode of the Fundraising Masterminds Podcast, we're talking about how to give a successful appeal and some of the common mistakes people make in giving an appeal. From crafting a compelling message to the importance of clear communication, we're covering it all! This is an episode you won't want to miss.
Join us as we explore the seven critical mistakes people make in giving an appeal at an event and how to avoid them. Learn why simply hosting an event isn't enough and the importance of making a clear, specific call for support. Discover the impact of a faith goal and how having a plan frees your donors to give what they really want to. Find out why you can't assume your donors even know how to give. And learn how to ask for support in a way that encourages generous and sincere sacrifice.
This episode isn't just about what you should do, but also what you shouldn't. And whether you've been doing dinners for years or just started your nonprofit last week, we're sure you'll learn something today!
One last word - ASK, and don't be afraid to ask for a specific amount. Remember, small plans don't inflame the hearts of men and women. It's so important that you let yourself cross the finish line when you've gone through the effort of hosting an event like this.

NEED HELP WITH YOUR NONPROFIT?
Most nonprofits are under-funded. Even if you think your nonprofit is doing well, we've found you could be doing much better. However, most nonprofits don't have a clear development strategy that keeps them grounded. As a result, they "get creative" and "try new things" based on what is popular or trending, or they get comfortable with where they are at and don't realize the dangers they will be facing in just a few short years.
The Perfect Vision Dinner Course is a 20-week "live video" course that addresses this problem head on. The course was developed by Jim Dempsey after 38+ years as a Senior Development Director at Cru. After Jim had personally done over 2,500 vision dinners in his lifetime and raised over $1 billion worldwide, Jim and Jason have partnered together to bring you Fundraising Masterminds. Our first course, The Perfect Vision Dinner is a time-tested proven formula that will introduce our development system and grow your nonprofit to its maximum potential.
The course includes 20-hours of personalized development coaching from Jim Dempsey and Jason Galicinski and also includes a real-time community group where you have access to everyone attending the course and also our Masterminds throughout the course.
The goal for this course is to fully equip you with a Biblical basis for Development so that you can Win, Keep and Lift new partners to higher levels of involvement with your nonprofit.
