The most common concern nonprofit boards have when THINKING of hiring me . . .

One of the most common concerns I get from leaders and boards THINKING about hiring me to increase their mid- and major-left gifts is this…
 
But, how will the ED and staff have the TIME to add your work on their already full plates? I just don’t think they’ll have the time to DO the work.

Right.

That’s actually the #1 reason you SHOULD hire me.

Because my clients? They say things like . . .

 “I can breathe again”
“I don’t work over 40 hours a week anymore.”
"I've never been more confident that we'll hit our number."

I can assure you our work can’t just be ADD, ADD, ADD things to your team’s plate.

I reveal many things your team must STOP doing that aren’t serving your organization’s growth plans anymore…so that you can START doing relationship based fundraising.

If your team is exhausted, working crazy hours, on the spin cycle chasing every day . . . they are not in a High-ROI funding model. Their hours aren’t aligned with dollars.

Full stop.

It all starts with a needs-based budget and then a true financing plan that propels you to that need. It’s only when your team has that in place that they can make sure they’re aligning more hours with the activities that attract larger donors. 

But, it’s the step everyone skips. Because they’ve never done it before + objectivity is needed in the exercise. 

It’s an intentional shift…especially when your team has been doing transactional fundraising for a long while.

But, my EDs and teams that make the shift? They see the money that’s been sitting on the table for decades. They stop chasing earned revenue and ticket sales. They start having different conversations to attract donors who WANT to give to their mission.

How about you? What do you need to stop doing or start doing today?
