How to Meet and Exceed Major Donor Targets with the Right Donor Planning Tools and Tactics (Recording)
Recorded

As a self-confessed, previously ‘mediocre’ fundraiser, presenter Michelle Stein felt frustrated with the average and reactive major donor program she led at an international development charity. However, once she uncovered the right planning tools and tactics, she saw extraordinary results: doubling income in a year, bringing in a million pound gift, and building a robust prospect pipeline. She now wants to show you how to have the same success with your major donor program!

If you would like your major gift fundraising to meet and exceed targets, then join Michelle where, step by step, she will share the most important planning tools to get you the results you want. You’ll learn how to plan and create gift tables, event calendars and stewardship levels as well as practical communication tactics to build trust and connection with donors.

These tools, which cover each stage of the major donor cycle, are easily replicable, suitable for small, medium and large organizations and amazingly, cost nothing to implement.
