This month's NEW article is called “4 Indicators Your Fundraisers Need Relational Fundraising Training”. 

Yet, if it’s so “easy” to do relational fundraising, why don’t all organizations just take this approach? 

“Sadly, many development teams simply haven’t been properly trained to do relational fundraising. Growing up through the ranks, many tasked with fundraising are expected to plan events, send out appeals and prioritize everything but building relationships with donors and prospects. As a result, these time-intensive fundraising activities fail to secure the general operating dollars truly needed for infrastructure, building a solid reserve or stabilizing cash flow.”

Sherry Quam Taylor works with growth-minded Nonprofit CEOs who are scaling their organizations but still need larger amounts of general operating support to truly grow. She breaks their teams free from the limitations of transactional fundraising and helps them reimagine their entire approach to revenue generation.

The high-performing leaders Sherry works with want to find and secure more unrestricted revenue from investment-level donors. They simply need more funding to do what’s in their Strategic Plan. To achieve this, she transforms their teams and boards into high-ROI revenue generators - revealing how they can align every hour they spend fundraising with new principles that double and triple donation sizes.

As a result of learning her methodology, Sherry’s clients regularly add 7-figures of gen-ops revenue to their bottom line by learning how to attract investment-level donors that WANT to fund their work. But the biggest transformation they experience is knowing the exact strategy, path, and team that will propel them to generate the 2-10X dollars their strategic plans require.

Sherry attributes the success of her business to her passion for modeling radical confidence to the future CEOs in her house - her two teenage daughters.
