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.

Building a Culture of Philanthropy

Question of the Month: How do facilitation skills make you a better fundraiser?
It takes practice to facilitate a donor meeting in a way that’s respectful of the donor’s time and energizes them to give.
The Art of the Handoff
It’s not easy to let go of certain donors, but there comes a time in every fundraising cycle when you’ll need to transition a donor relationship to someone else.
Whether the donor is moving from mid-level to a major gifts portfolio, or from a higher level of giving back into mid-level or direct response, transitioning them to another colleague is one of the best things you can do for your program, organization, and the donor! But you need to have protocols in place so that the transition feels seamless and keeps your pipeline free and clear of any clogs.
In this podcast episode, Jeff, Theresa, and Matt share their top tips and best practices for handling donor handoffs, shifting your thinking, and transitioning members of your caseload.
