The difference between a "nice event" and a record-breaking fundraiser comes down to three critical moments:
- The Story Moment: Finding and telling the perfect story that opens donors' hearts
- The Ask Moment: Creating an offer so clear and compelling that giving becomes the obvious choice
- The Lift the Room Moment: Building momentum by setting clear goals and showing real-time progress
And the organizations that maximize the impact of these moments follow a very specific program (Jim Shapiro calls it the “Mullet Method”).
The hard truth? Most organizations invest thousands of dollars and countless hours into events that barely break even because they focus on everything BUT these three moments. Their speaking program is too long, emphasizing the wrong things at the wrong times.
When you nail these three moments, your fundraising results can double or even triple.
This strategy session is for fundraisers and nonprofit leaders who want to transform their events from "nice gatherings" to powerful fundraising engines that break previous records.
