The Shift that Changes your Nonprofit's Financial Sustainability

Written By Sherry Quam Taylor

Anyone can write an email, host an event, or design a fundraising campaign...

[OK, not anyone, but you get my point.]

But learning how to take the time to know your donor so well that a simple lunch results in a 5- or 6-figure gift?

And you do that every year? And then do that with half your donors?

That’s the shift that changes your organization’s financial sustainability. That's the shift that gets you off of the fundraising spin-cycle of deadlines.

That's the exact email I got from my client recently who has learned how to do this...

Here's what I know. Nonprofit fundraising is weird. 

Yes, I said weird.

Most of us have had some odd winding path into this field. Too often, that means your development team hasn't had major-gifts training. They're great at writing appeals, tracking grants, and planning events. But, when it comes to leading a donor through an investment-level conversation as described above? That's another story.

But, that story often is leaving 7-figures of revenue on the table.

Your mission is too important for that. The methodology I teach works for first-time fundraisers and 30-year veterans in the industry. I'm proud to say that all get significant results.

What are you waiting for?
