Your Nonprofit’s Mission Is Worthy Of Donors Giving To—Without “Getting Something” In Return

“Every year, that donor comes to our gala and buys the biggest auction item because they want to give more….and then they don’t even take/use the item!”

 

Ummmm….

 

Right. A perfect example of a donor who WANTS to give to your mission, who ISN’T being asked outside of an event, and DOESN’T require prizes.

 

With proper training, this fundraising team could be securing thousands more.

 

You see, your fundraising team's job is to lead every single one of your donors to give their BEST gift.

 

And, mid- and major-level donors are NEVER going to give their BEST gift at an event. Full stop.

 

Push pause on these silly games the sector has expected fundraisers to do for way too long.

 

Your mission is worthy of donors giving to…without “getting something” in return.
