Why Nonprofits Must Lead Their Major Donors

The Business Behind Fundraising

My mission has always been to help nonprofit leaders and fundraisers to get their donors giving their best gift every year.

This mindset shift is a gamechanger. And the best news is that you, as the fundraiser, have so much more control of the pacing, the timing, and the size of the gifts than you think.

But, this is only possible if you intentionally shift your fundraising activities from a reactive state to a more proactive one.

So how can you pivot your donor relationships to a deeper level?

How can you start serving and leading them differently?

What You Will Discover: 

✔️Guide donors from a mission perspective. It’s crucial to educate them on how investing their best gift in your mission is a win-win situation. Clearly articulate your mission, and do your due diligence on finding out why they should give to you and the questions they may have before they’d give their best gift.

✔️ Physically lead your donors. It’s your responsibility to tell your donors the next step in the fundraising journey. Your major donors are busy and may not have time to think about what’s best for your organization. Always make the next engagement step easy for them.

✔️ Your organization is worthy of donors who want your partnership. My biggest piece of advice in leading donors is that you should take the time to decipher your donors’ true interest in your organization. Find out if they really DO want a relationship with you. Are they really mission-aligned?

✔️ Being yourself is the best thing you can be. You don’t have to be THAT salesperson. Play on your strengths and know your organization’s numbers and mission from top to bottom so you can engage in investment-level conversations comfortably and confidently.
