Question of the Month – What are the steps to move out of a fundraising model that’s based on membership, annual giving, or events?

Many non-profit organizations have revenue streams that rely primarily on events-based strategies, membership programs, or an annual giving model. While these strategies can certainly be valuable, they tend to promote a transactional giving mindset that limits the organization’s fundraising revenue. These transactional approaches often divert dollars and attention away from the one-to-one relational strategies that form the foundation of a healthy major gifts program.

To continue to grow into the future, our clients have recognized the need to move to a relational fundraising model that’s centered on learning the donor’s passions and interests, connecting them to the mission, and reporting back on the impact of each individual gift.

In this Question of the Month video, Karen and Jeff explain that you don’t need to abandon these strategies in order to adopt a more relational approach. Watch the video here.
