Most nonprofits don't have a real plan for major gift fundraising.
Most nonprofits don't have a real plan for major gift fundraising.
They treat all their donors like mass donors. Or they try to manage too many major donors and do a terrible job with all of them. Or they avoid major donor work entirely because they don't know where to start.
The result? Major donor revenue that stays flat year after year. Or worse, major donors who stop giving because they're not being asked to do more.
There's a better way.
Organizations that have a major donor management system have a predictable revenue stream that fuels organizational growth. Because they always have a donor ready to say YES to an Ask.
Join Jim Shapiro and Sarah Lundberg for a Major Donor Intensive + Coaching Session where you'll build an actual system for managing your major donors in two hours.

WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING:
To make sure your time with Jim and Sarah is as impactful as possible, there’ll be a little bit of pre-work. You’ll need to pull a list of your donors with their giving history. Jim and Sarah will send you an email with instructions and a simple template in advance of the intensive.
That's it.
That's it.
