Major Donor Magic

Description

Does your non-profit struggle with fundraising?

I’ve been where you are right now… As a former Development Director and Executive Director, and now as a fundraising consultant, I understand the constant stress of relying on dozens of time-consuming fundraising strategies that never seem to raise enough money for your organization.

…Which means that your fundraising team will be overworked, overstressed, and constantly anxious about raising enough money in order to fund your programs.

And, worst of all, most non-profit fundraisers (and many board members and Executive Directors) think that a non-profit needs to try every fundraising idea… and pursue every fundraising lead… in order to fund its work. That’s why so many organizations are constantly running from event to grant to appeal letter and back again… always anxious about hitting their fundraising goals.

I call this the “fundraising treadmill,” because if your non-profit follows this strategy, you’ll keep spinning your wheels, and never be able to really grow and thrive.

My name is Joe Garecht, the President of Garecht Fundraising Associates and the Founder of The Fundraising Authority.

I’m a fundraising consultant, author, and speaker who has worked with thousands of non-profits over the past 20 years to help them dramatically increase their fundraising revenue… by teaching them how to build fundraising systems that maximize their fundraising.

Now, I’ve discovered the single most important fundraising strategy that your non-profit can start implementing – today – to raise more money than ever before.

Thankfully, There is a Better Way!

The good news is that there is a better way to raise money for your non-profit – without ever getting on that fundraising treadmill again.

Let me share a quick story with you…

I was working for an organization I really believed in – a non-profit that was doing great work and needed more money in order to succeed. As the Development Director, I was very frustrated, because despite all of our fundraising activities, we never seemed to be able to raise enough money to serve everyone who needed our help.

At the time, we were throwing everything up on the wall to see what stuck. Our non-profit was doing everything to try and raise money: events, direct mail, online fundraising, grant-writing, and more. And we were doing it with a very small staff and a very limited budget.

Every time we wanted to raise more money, we added another event… another mailing… another grant proposal. Sound familiar?

The big problem was that despite acting on every fundraising idea from our board and staff, we still had trouble reaching our fundraising goals. Our fundraising staff was worn out from running a million small fundraising strategies, and our entire team was frustrated because our fundraising had plateaued.

If we couldn’t raise more money, we wouldn’t be able to grow our programs… we wouldn’t be able to do more good in the world.

Then, Something Amazing Happened That Changed our Non-Profit Forever

As I prepared to send out yet another round of small grant proposals, I realized that our fundraising program was focusing on the wrong things.

Instead of focusing on dozens of fundraising strategies all at the same time, we needed a fundraising system in place… one that would allow our team to focus on only those strategies which would really produce results.

Instantly it became crystal clear to me how to shortcut the fundraising process by focusing on where our small fundraising team could raise the most money, and do it consistently: major donors. Sure, we had done some major donor fundraising in the past, but we had never built a true fundraising system to find, cultivate, and activate major donors to support our work.

I saw that we could get off the fundraising treadmill and stop chasing down every fundraising idea that the board, the Executive Director, our our fundraising team came up with. Instead, we could focus on building a true major donor fundraising system for our organization… one that would help us find new major donors and get them engaged in our work for years to come.

We Built a Major Donor System that Works for Every Non-Profit

I resolved, then and there, to start developing a successful system for major donor fundraising that works for every non-profit, including small organizations like ours.

So, I started researching fundraising best practices, talking to other fundraising experts, and reviewing everything I had learned in my years working in the trenches in order to learn the secrets of the world’s best major donor programs.

And then… I built a major donor system based on what I learned.

I tested and tweaked the system, and it worked. Once implemented, we were able to stop spending hundreds of hours on holding small events, preparing dozens of small grant proposals, and begging our board for new names every month.

Here’s the bottom line: In the end we were able to implement a major donor fundraising system that fully funded our work and then some… and that allowed us to do more good in the world with significantly less stress and hassle for our fundraising team.

Over the years, I’ve worked with hundreds of non-profits to help them build out major donor fundraising systems that really work for their organizations. Now, we’ve put together an online course that will help YOU develop a successful major donor fundraising system for your non-profit.

We call it “Major Donor Magic”.

With Major Donor Magic you can put together a fully systemized major donor program – one that will help you find new major donors, get them passionate about your work, solicit them for gifts, and keep them giving for a lifetime – no matter the size of your organization or your fundraising team!
