For most non-profit organizations, raising funds is the biggest challenge they face year over year. Keeping organizations functioning effectively takes substantial resources. Yet too many don’t have an organized plan to secure those resources. Instead, they fall into a pattern of doing the same thing year over year. Too often these patterns involve too many people chasing too many small transactional donations through too many activities. Too few invest enough time and attention into developing the transformational relationships that can lead to higher levels of support.
At the heart of every successful nonprofit organization there is a dedicated core group of supporters and volunteers who donate time, talent, and treasure to the organization, helping to maintain its operations and to provide the critical resources needed to grow and expand. Growing and developing this “circle of friends” is the core task of Major Gifts Development. These are the relationships that can open doors to opportunities that may not be realized any other way.
Most non-profit leaders understand the power and impact that major giving has on an organization’s ability to thrive today and to reach its longer-term goals tomorrow. They also often intuitively know the basic path that it takes to get there. Yet far too few achieve much in the way of real success in this area.
