Imagine having all the
funding you need to focus on mission -
instead of chasing
dollars
Give me
10 minutes and I’ll reveal my…
Secret to developing
long-term funding even in today’s economy, now and forever . . .
Are you
working in a one-person development department? Do you need a solid
fundraising plan? This was written just for you.
ear Nonprofit Professional:
I’ve
been where you’re at right now.
You’re the (as one of my subscribers wrote): “ED, Major Gift
Officer, Grant Writer, Patient Relations Representative, Prospect Researcher
and Chief Cook and Bottle Washer
… not
to mention PR and marketing director, event planner, individual giving manager,
director of stewardship and, yes, even graphic designer!
It’s been a very eye-opening experience to realize that being a
good “business woman” is far removed from being a good “fundraiser” or
Development Director. You make the steps that need to be taken seem so
simple; by emphasizing the importance of our regular (12 times a year!)
communications with our donors, and holding those connections precious above
all else, and by daring to pursue relationships more often and more
openly, we are seeing lovely results. We find that our donors do
indeed want to hear from us more often, even if it is only to say ” We
appreciate you and here’s what we’ve been accomplishing with your help!”
In other words, you gave me a beautiful gift, and thank you.
Know that all I’ve learned from you has made us a better, more “donor centered”
organization, and me, a better “friend and communicator” to our valued
supporters.

Where
do you find the time to:
§ Write
funded grant proposals and follow-up reports?
§ Grow
your individual giving, including phoning donors and launching your
organization’s monthly giving program?
§ Make
sure your nonprofit gets media coverage in traditional and new media?
§ Develop
a website that draws visitors and donors?
§ Cultivate
major donors?
I’ve
been where you’re at right now
§ Wondering
how you’ll cover payroll next month
§ Trying
to figure out how you can increase your services to meet your community’s
overwhelming need
§ Knowing
that you need help with fundraising but you just don’t have the time or money
to attend workshops or seminars. And hiring a consultant? Forget
about it.
