How to Cultivate Donor Relationships Remotely

There was a seismic shift in spring of 2020, as we all changed the way we interacted with the world in the wake of the pandemic. Offices were decentralized. Work was done at home. Business relationships were managed electronically. And fundraising was fundamentally changed, perhaps forever. In this presentation, watch Bill discuss how Major Gift Solutions has leaned into that change, taking advantage of the opportunities it opens up and finding ways to cultivate, steward, and solicit donors without being physically right next to them. Bill draws from several successes he’s had, including closing multiple 5- and 6- and even 7-figure gifts remotely.

The Art and Science of Major Gift Fundraising

Raising major gifts is both a science and an art. Listen to this 30-minute webinar, provided through the good services of the Nonprofit Learning Lab, to see how you can develop both.

You will learn how to:
– find the right donors
– land visits with these donors
– facilitate productive visits with those donors
– put together a compelling and nonthreatening ask

The art / science framework is something I have developed over the course of 10+ years raising major gifts. See what you think!
