Reduce Value Attrition & Increase Donor Retention
What challenges do you face today?
Major gift fundraising is one of most important pursuits you can undertake. But it’s also one of the most challenging!
Are your donors leaving out the back door almost as quickly as they come in the front?
Are you wondering how to manage a major gift team, or even how to set one up for the first time?
Does the complexity of planned giving overwhelm – or even scare you?
Find the services YOU need.
Fundraising works best when you create lasting partnerships with your donors to help them change the world through their giving. Major donor programs accomplish this best when they have trained staff who qualify donors, make individual plans and goals for those donors, and are held accountable for carrying out those plans.
