Hi John,
Hope you are doing great as the holidays and year-end fundraising deadlines approach!
I'd love to know how you are doing. Why not click return and let me know with a return email?
Today, we can walk on the dark side. We're talking about the misunderstandings people have about major gifts fundraising.
Your board, CEO, CFO or manager may not quite understand the careful process we go through with major donors.
Today's post will help educate them about what can go wrong and even backfire on you.
I"m covering:
- Why you can raise more with a smaller portfolio of donors.
- Why you can't rush the ask.
- Why you can only be successful with a strong structure and process.
- How wealth screening steer you in the wrong direction.
Feel free to forward this to any people who are interested in learning more about how major gift fundraising really works!
And, do take care of yourself in this busy season.
You're doing the most important work in the world - helping create more goodness, health and peace for us all.
I know you are not acknowledged often, so please let me send a deep thank you for your work!
Dedicated to your success and happiness,
Gail
