A Beginner’s Guide to Major Donor Fundraising Success: BONUS Simple Strategy to Build Relationships Immediately
I’ve been sharing some of my tips and tricks for getting started with major donor fundraising.
Today, I’m going to share a strategy a client and fundraising friend of mine came up with that is so simple (and easy to remember!) that I can’t keep it to myself.
It’s called 3 – 4 – 5.
3 days a week, call 4 major donors to say thank you or report back, at 5pm.
That’s it. That’s the strategy.
Even if you can’t start a full-blown major donor program, see if you can try THIS.
Make this part of your week (every week!) and you will start building stronger relationships with your major donors immediately!
It’s as simple as 3 – 4 – 5!
