Hi John,
Sure hope you are doing ok! Please know that we are here to help if you need us.
Right now, we are getting so many questions about all aspects of fundraising.
And one question we are hearing most of all: "what about our major gift efforts?"
So, is now the time for major gift fundraising?
As consultants and coaches, we are recommending a resounding yes.
Today's post is from my colleague Dr. Kathryn Gamble - you might know her from our Facebook Live broadcasts. We are holding these live conversations every Wednesday at noon eastern, to help the nonprofit community. And we're taking questions. Please join us!
Today Kathryn is outlining the steps that you can take to move forward with major gift fundraising - right now.
What to say to major gift donors. How to handle the relationship. Even in this weird, crisis environment:
- Will donors give?
- Should we be in touch?
- Is this the time to do discovery calls?
- Should we ask for money?
So check out our post here:
Our careers have spanned decades, including raising major gifts and managing campaigns in times of serious economic recession.
Yet, we still maintained strong major donor relationships and even closed gifts. Why? Because there will always be happy donors who want to give - if they are approached gently.
We are sending our best wishes to you for your safety and health, and hope that you are doing ok in this turbulent time.
Do take care. This will pass. We are here for you - and your organization.
Warmly,
