Free Nonprofit Webinar: How to Build Your Major Donor Portfolio

If You Register and Cannot Attend, You Will Get the Webinar Recording and Slides 

Once upon a time, 80% of your revenues came from 20% of your donors. Today, that ratio is more like 90% of your revenues come from 10% of your donors. And, as Giving USA highlights, we know that in any given year, over 64% of contributed income comes from individual donors. Whether you are in a large, medium, or small fundraising shop; it doesn’t matter any longer. The question is, are you poised to maximize your revenues based on these giving patterns?

Join Robin L. Cabral, MA, CFRE, MFIA, Chief Fundraising Strategist and Coach at Development Consulting Solutions during this free nonprofit course as she takes you through the steps she used to develop her organization’s major gift portfolios which can apply to any sized fundraising shop. Robin is a certified CharityHowTo Topic Expert on a variety of fundraising topics.

Whether your nonprofit is large or small, Robin will show you how to build either your first or your best, major gift portfolio to focus your efforts on the 10% of the donors who are giving 90% of contributed income to help you raise more money.

Stephanie Chamberlain, Alameda County Bar Association

“I enjoyed today's free webinar on "Building a Major Donor Portfolio" as it was loaded with a lot of very helpful tips and information.
