NEW Podcast Episode:

Yes, You Do Need to Ask All Year!

Asking your donors for gifts isn’t something you should save for the year-end giving season. When you’re tuned in to your donor’s giving preferences and interests, you can bring them additional giving opportunities even outside their regular giving season.

For this episode, we invited two guest fundraisers and clients of ours to share their expertise on this subject. Sarah Coen-Frei, Senior Individual Giving Manager at Minnesota Public Radio, and Fritz Gutwein, Major Gift Officer at Bread for the World, joined Veritus Group’s Karen Kendrick (Senior Director of Client Engagement) and Diana Frazier (Senior Client Experience Leader) for this conversation about how to approach asking year-round.

We hope you find these tips helpful as you work toward your next donor asks! Listen here.

Are You Getting Crushed By the Metrics?

Many fundraising leaders rely on measuring activity, i.e., how many phone calls the MGO makes, the number of face-to-face donor meetings each month, or how many asks. The problem with measuring activity is that it doesn’t demonstrate results and it’s not indicative of a meaningful engagement with that donor. So how should you measure success in major gifts?

In this webinar, Jeff and Diana chat with our client guest, Abby Muller of the Phoenix Rescue Mission, about which metrics should guide your strategy in fundraising. Watch the replay here.
