Your Nonprofit Staff Needs to Spend Their Time in Relational Fundraising

You know what’s ironic?

 

Too many fundraisers are doing glorified administrative work like stamping envelopes and collecting auction items. They can’t seem to get out of the office to meet with donors because they are stuck drafting email follow ups, reviewing social media posts, or putting leave-behinds in folders.

 

They’re not raising enough money….cause there’s no more wiggle room in their day for relational fundraising. 

The irony is, if they STOPPED doing many of those “fundraising activities”, they’d actually raise MORE money.

But how do you stop? How do you make that shift?

 

It typically takes an outsider's help, guidance, and time. But it's doable. I see it all the time.
