When a Major Gift Officer leaves your organization what happens to the donors in his or her caseload? In this post, you’ll discover a process that will help your organization stay connected to your donors and continue serving them during the transition.
Multi-year pledges from major donors often lead to the donors being neglected by fundraising staff. Here are some tips for you to keep the donor engaged…
Want to reduce revenue from your major donors quickly? Put them on an advisory board and have them do nothing. A bored donor is not an engaged donor.
“…This donor has a ton of money, and I thought I would be much further along by now.” The question we ask in these situations is “how are you setting your expectations?”…”
Great MGOs are humble, confident, kind, openhearted, accepting of structure and counsel, and they hold the organizations they work for in high regard. “The Gunslinger” is a different breed entirely.
If you want a major gift officer to stay at your organization, you must embrace the concept that donors are first, and that it’s all about fulfilling their desires and passions as it relates to your mission.
You may talk a great game about being donor-centered and putting donors first, but are you actually putting that into practice and collaborating with your colleagues?
A non-profit CEO recently told us how she drew closer to donors through the individual planning process we recommend for major gifts fundraising.
You can’t rush the process of understanding a donor’s passions and interests. Even if you are at a place where you know this about a donor, that doesn’t mean you’re done cultivating that relationship.
I want to share with you all the qualities I believe make a GREAT manager of major gift officers, that ultimately will help take your major gift program and make it soar.
