About a week ago my generally healthy Dad was rushed to the ER. On the very same day, one of our teenaged sons faced a challenging life lesson of his own that he never saw coming.
Successful fundraising is based on five Fundraising I’s of the donor cycle: Identify, Investigate, Inform, Involve and Invest. It is important that a prospective donor be taken through the entire cycle before a solicitation is made. Sometimes we forget some of these steps and jump to “the ask” and then wonder why a prospective donor did not make a gift. Let’s take the Five I’s and discuss each one.
We have lots of reminders about what has to happen before we achieve desired responses. Crawl before you walkThink before you speak Work before playLook both ways before crossing the roadYou have to dream before your dreams can come true
Our region stands tall on the foundation of great leadership from visionaries who were able to go after what they dreamed of for the Triangle, and build it for future generations. Those who saw community needs not only as challenges, but also as opportunities for change. They built strong nonprofits that will sustain our growing population for many years.
Whether you’re ready to expand your organizational capacity and move forward with purpose, or just want to talk shop, we’d love to connect.
