When non-profit leaders decide there’s no room in the budget for a major gifts program, it’s counterproductive, because they’re missing out on a huge revenue opportunity. An investment in major gifts can have an ROI of 10:1, or even more.

So let’s say you’re convinced that the investment in major gifts is worth it – now, how do you get a major gift program up and running, or make an existing program better?

In this podcast episode, Richard and Jeff will speak to the ROI of major gifts, as well as the foundational elements of a successful major gifts program.
