Unrestricted Donations For Your Nonprofits

Nonprofit GrowthDevelopment
Written By Sherry Quam Taylor

I probably don't need to tell you that UNRESTRICTED donations make the greatest difference to…your mission, your annual growth, and your long-term sustainability.

But here's what I hear too often...

⚠️Nobody wants to give unrestricted gifts. They aren't sexy.
⚠️People like to give to tangible projects.
⚠️We don't know anyone who would give large unrestricted gifts.

These statements are NOT TRUE.

Flip those statements around and ask these questions:

❓Does my development staff know how to lead donors through investment level conversations?

❓Does my team know their numbers well enough to present the financials and explain how unrestricted gifts propel programs?

❓Does my team do the majority of their solicitations via application, event, or appeal?

❓Is my team doing the things that ATTRACT investment level donors who GET IT (and would give unrestricted gifts)?

This is a skill-set issue. It’s time to invest in your staff learning how to do this. You'll quickly see the money that's likely been sitting on the table for years.

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