Figuring It Out.

The first step in solving any problem is to discover what the problem actually is.?We often confuse symptoms of the problem for the problem itself.

No wonder you're frustrated!

In fundraising the “problem” might be annual revenue that just isn’t growing.?It may be even tough to keep it at the same level each year.?I might be “losing” a significant amount of revenue due to the departure of a significant supporter.

The “problem” might be a board that’s just not into fundraising.

The “problem” might be an inability to find experienced fundraising talent—or to keep them once you’ve hired them.

The “problem” might be the “lack” of money.?Either sufficient pools from which to draw your support or the resources to fund your efforts.

You get the drift.

In each of the above instances, the “problem” is a symptom of something more fundamental.

So how do you identify the real culprits???Once you know what they are, how do you eliminate them or go around them?

You can keep treating symptoms.?It keeps you busy. It might even help (a bit), but it (almost) never makes the problem go away.

The good news is that every one of these problems, and most others in fundraising, are easily solvable.

And quickly.

It’s about knowing the right path.?Then acting upon it.

The Eight Principles Intensive is a brief training program that will give you the ability to solve every one of the “problems” mentioned above. ?And any others you can identify.

The program is simplicity itself.

Designed for the “team” of the organization executive and the fundraising professional, they work together in coaching sessions with me for sixty days.

We use The Eight Principles Virtual Curriculum as our study platform.?During the sixty days, we identify, analyze and address your urgent fundraising challenges.

Need to raise revenue dramatically??Need to reinvigorate or reorient your board??Need to significantly improve donor retention and thereby raise the level of your average gift.

Sixty days is all it takes.?That’s it, 60 days.

We’ll meet weekly guiding you with meaningful activities to not only identify the REAL obstacles holding you back but also develop the action plan to eliminate them.

If you’d like to learn more, schedule a time to speak with me.?There’s no cost to the call and there’s no obligation.?The spaces are limited, so I’m looking for committed folks.?Those who are serious about getting better fundraising outcomes.

Whether the program is for you or not, you’ll leave our conversation with a clear idea of the direction you need to take going forward.

I look forward to speaking with you.
