#299 - Old Rules Are Dead


Listen Later

This week, I had an enlightening conversation with Jay Frost about how the old rules of fundraising are DEAD. 🛑


2024 has been a wild ride, especially in the fundraising world, and I’m here to share how you can not only survive but THRIVE in this new landscape. 🌟


Here are some key takeaways:


- **Moves Management is Dead**: I explain why the traditional moves management calendar might not be effective in 2024. Instead, focus on creating a customized experience for major donors. 🔄🚫

  

- **The Power of Individual Giving**: Discover why individual gifts make up a significant portion of fundraising and how to craft a strategy that taps into this potential. 💡💵


- **The Importance of Consent**: Learn how to build authentic relationships with donors by being transparent and asking for permission before making an ask. This approach helps in creating a trust-based partnership rather than just a transactional one. 🤝✨


- **Rethink Wealth Screening**: We discuss the limitations of wealth screenings and why a more holistic approach, including surveys and direct engagement, might be more effective in understanding and connecting with your donors. 📊🔍


If you’re in the nonprofit sector or just curious about the intricacies of major gift fundraising, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in now to gain insights and strategies that could transform your approach to donor relationships!
