Do you ever wish your nonprofit mission or cause could sell itself?

Do you ever wish your mission or cause could sell itself?

Seems like it should, right?

Conversations are quick and easy and should go something like this . . .

➡️ You have an amazing mission
➡️ People read your newsletter and are immediately inspired
➡️ Tears are in their eyes when you tell the stories of those you serve
➡️ And then, boom! new donor!
➡️ And even better - it’s a giant check!

I wish.

Reality is, donors . . .

❓Don’t always understand what you do...
❓Don’t know the depth of the problem you’re solving...
❓Don’t know that you need more money…really, they don’t know you NEED MORE MONEY.

But, most importantly, they need to be led. They need to be asked. And, your fundraising team has way more control over this than you think….that is if they know how to solicit. Not through events or appeals. One-on-one solicitations.

Your mission doesn’t sell itself, especially when you’re trying to attract investment-level donors and secure large general-operating gifts.

If you’re assuming your donors ARE giving their best gifts AND you’re NOT asking . . . you’re leaving money on the table.

Whenever you’re ready, here are THREE things you can do next:
