Strategic Planning & Organizational Development

Strategic Planning & Organizational Development

In an era when non-profits are needed to support their communities more than ever before, It is critical that organization leaders and managers know how to effectively manage their fundraising programs and make strategic hires.

Mid-Level, Major Gifts, and Planned Giving are the Heavy Lifters

Nurturing the donor pipeline to use acquisition and cultivation as feeders for your high-net revenue producing fundraising efforts.

What are the foundational truths of impactful donor pipeline management?

Leadership, staff, and the Board must have a solid understanding of how the donor pipeline works, is structured, and should be resourced.
A donor (institutional/individual) must be treated as a partner not a source of cash.
A non-profit must have two equally valued and practiced objectives:
1. To address a societal need and,
2. To fulfill the passions and interests of its donors

To see results, you must have the right people in the right roles

There must be a process for hiring that is aligned with the donor pipeline to ensure there is thoughtful integration of roles to support the entire fundraising structure.

Without the right structure, orientation, and personnel, you will likely experience these challenges:

Revenue in decline
High donor and value attrition
Donor acquisition isn’t keeping up with donor losses
Transactional fundraising culture
Ineffective fundraising strategies
Structure, division of labor, and management systems are not donor-focused
Wrong talent is leading fundraising, marketing, and communications functions
Donors are not inspired to give by the non-profits programs and donor offers
Investment and resourcing in fundraising is incorrect
Lack of vision or growth plan
