33. Fundraising Q & A Discussion

36 minutes

Published: October 06, 2019

This week we tackle many common fundraising questions that our consultants are asked often. Jim Friend is joined by a talented group of Changing Our World fundraising consultants, including Brandi Holys, Diana Curren, and Ray Witkowski, for this informative roundtable session. Some of the questions the group discusses include:

Why do people Give?* When is the best time to fundraise?

How can I stop marketing and communications from overlapping with my appeals?

How do I find not only more donors but more donors that are the right fit for my organization?

Why do I have to use a specific ask amount?

What’s the best way to steward a donor? How important is donor recognition?

How often should I be in contact with my donors…before and after their gift?

How often should I be communicating with my donors?

How important is online giving?

How important are special events? How can I leverage my special events?
