Fundraising Groups

It’s interesting that many sponsors choose not to pursue one source that can prove to be of extreme value. They may have considered going after corporate donations, but may not know how to pursue them. Is it a lack of confidence and vision, or perhaps not knowing what to say?

Failing to have, and effectively integrate, a ‘business ask strategy’ into your campaign leaves money on the table. Successful fundraising groups already know what to do and are reaping the financial rewards. Corporations often have money set aside for charitable causes and products they can donate or may be able to provide hands-on volunteer assistance.

Having a good understanding of your group’s needs and knowing how to approach and sell a business on your cause is important for securing donations. Here are some things to consider.




How to be Great a Fundraiser

A stellar fundraising professional can help take nonprofit organization’s fundraising efforts to the next level, but not everyone has the necessary attributes to be a highly successful fundraiser.

Qualifications and training are a big part of the story. Still, it’s also essential to assess whether a potential candidate has the relevant qualities and characteristics to excel at fundraising and take on the unique challenges that your organization faces. This is particularly important if you don’t have the budget to hire an experienced fundraising pro and need to take a gamble on someone less experienced.

Conferences can provide learning and networking opportunities that aren’t possible through content. They’re also perfect for networking. This can help your organization find new ways to further your cause and reach more donors.
