Written By Sherry Quam Taylor

Last week I was a guest on The Nonprofit Show with Julia Patrick. It's always a fun conversation! She even let me talk about one of my favorite topics…Your Board's Give/Get Policy!

 

Here's the things….Often, I cringe when you tell me you have a Give/Get. Why? 

 

Well, that's exactly what I talked about on the show with Julia! 

 

We talked through the Top 5 Reasons Your Board’s Give/Get Is Leaving Thousands (Sometimes Millions) on the Table]!

 

SPOILER ALERT: Here’s what I see…Give/Gets:

🛑keep board members from giving their best gift to your organization.

🛑keep your #fundraising staff from soliciting your board members.

🛑keep your board member’s network from giving their best gifts.

🛑perpetuate that free things & services (the get) are great for nonprofits.

🛑teach board members that fundraising is transactional.

 

What’s the alternative?

 

Your entire team (leadership, board, and fundraising staff) learning how to lead every.single.donor to their best gift, every year.

 

My teams who do this? They secure millions more.

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.
