Nonprofit Leaders: Do you know how to multiply a donor's gift?

Nonprofit GrowthDevelopment
Written By Sherry Quam Taylor

My client called me the other day to tell me he had grown a $1K gift to a $5K gift using the strategy tools we’d created together. I celebrated big time!

The reason?

Well, the process of increasing a gift from $1K to $5K is the SAME as growing a gift from $100K to $500K.

Now they know exactly how to 5X a donor’s gift.

That donor had always reactively just given $1K.

This is the real work of proactive, relationship-based fundraising:

👣Learning how to identify what’s blocking a donor from giving a larger gift
👣Leading them past those blocks
👣Confidently taking the proper time to wait for the ask
👣Then knowing how to ask (not by email, campaign, or event)

Sometimes good fundraising feels counterintuitive.

We’ve been told for DECADES that fundraising is exhausting, urgent, fast, and deadline driven.

I don’t do urgent. You don't need to buy into that story either.

Fundraising that fully funds your entire organization every year is slower, thoughtful, and not rushed. It's not a fire drill to a fiscal year-end.

If this doesn’t describe your development team, a shift needs to be made.

Sherry Quam Taylor works with growth-minded Nonprofit CEOs who are scaling their organizations but still need larger amounts of general operating support to truly grow. She breaks their teams free from the limitations of transactional fundraising and helps them reimagine their entire approach to revenue generation.

The high-performing leaders Sherry works with want to find and secure more unrestricted revenue from investment-level donors. They simply need more funding to do what’s in their Strategic Plan. To achieve this, she transforms their teams and boards into high-ROI revenue generators - revealing how they can align every hour they spend fundraising with new principles that double and triple donation sizes.

As a result of learning her methodology, Sherry’s clients regularly add 7-figures of gen-ops revenue to their bottom line by learning how to attract investment-level donors that WANT to fund their work. But the biggest transformation they experience is knowing the exact strategy, path, and team that will propel them to generate the 2-10X dollars their strategic plans require.

Sherry attributes the success of her business to her passion for modeling radical confidence to the future CEOs in her house - her two teenage daughters.
