Hi John,

Are the current times leaving you feeling like everything you know about raising major gifts is almost obsolete?

Here are some of the questions we get daily –

• What do I do to move the relationship with my major donor prospect beyond the how are you conversation?
• Are Zoom events really effective?
• What if our major donor prospects don’t use digital meeting platforms?

And this one –

I just don’t know what do to anymore.

I know things are different and challenging for you in this new virtual environment that just may be with us for a while. This has led us to believe that there are new rules for fundraising today – especially major gift fundraising.

Why we think there are new rules for fundraising today

We are here to offer hope!

My consulting partner, Kathryn Gamble, is writing today on why we believe there are new rules for major gift fundraising today.

She is outlining -

• 3 reasons the new environment calls for new rules
• 3 ways to approach major gift fundraising today

Kathryn discussed this topic on our Facebook Live broadcast. You can watch it here. Do join us every Wednesday at noon on Facebook - it's a great time when the community comes together for moral support, strategic thinking, and a pep talk from us.

We send our very best wishes to you and your team during this wild, unprecedented time. I do hope you are ok, and that you are hanging in there!

Please reach out to us if you need support.

Warmly,
