In this episode of the Fundraising Masterminds Podcast, we're celebrating our 100th episode by launching a new series on Development 101 and walking through the top 5 fundraising books every nonprofit leader should read.

Join us as we unpack the timeless classics and modern essentials that have shaped nonprofit development strategies for decades. From the practical handbook "It's Not Just About the Money" to the philosophically Biblical masterpiece "Money, Possessions, and Eternity", we're looking at all the most impactful books in the development library.

Hear why Jerry Panas is the "top of the heap" when it comes to fundraising. Uncover if major donors really do put their pants on one leg at a time (spoiler alert — they do). Discover Randy Alcorn’s biblical perspective on stewardship. And find out why some of the most impactful major gift strategies come down to simple listening.

So whether you're new to the world of development or are looking to reread your favorite classics, this episode will give you (and your board!) the resources you need to become further equipped in your development journey.

NEED HELP WITH YOUR NONPROFIT?

Most nonprofits are under-funded. Even if you think your nonprofit is doing well, we've found you could be doing much better. However, most nonprofits don't have a clear development strategy that keeps them grounded. As a result, they "get creative" and "try new things" based on what is popular or trending, or they get comfortable with where they are at and don't realize the dangers they will be facing in just a few short years.

The Perfect Vision Dinner Course is a 20-week "live video" course that addresses this problem head on. The course was developed by Jim Dempsey after 38+ years as a Senior Development Director at Cru. After Jim had personally done over 2,500 vision dinners in his lifetime and raised over $1 billion worldwide, Jim and Jason have partnered together to bring you Fundraising Masterminds. Our first course, The Perfect Vision Dinner is a time-tested proven formula that will introduce our development system and grow your nonprofit to its maximum potential.

The course includes 20-hours of personalized development coaching from Jim Dempsey and Jason Galicinski and also includes a real-time community group where you have access to everyone attending the course and also our Masterminds throughout the course.

The goal for this course is to fully equip you with a Biblical basis for Development so that you can Win, Keep and Lift new partners to higher levels of involvement with your nonprofit.
