The Year Before Your Capital Campaign

When: 7:00 am

I can just see you now. You’re at work in a meeting with colleagues when someone mentions a capital campaign. They nod their heads and agree a capital campaign should be discussed in detail, but later. And your meeting moves on. Now it’s 8 months later, the capital campaign is a constant item of discussion but there’s been practically no regard for the huge fundraising effort needed to succeed.

Fundraising managers know advanced planning is essential to achieving targets in an annual fundraising program. But many fundraising managers disregard this wisdom when it comes to planning a capital campaign.

Following on from a highly-regarded AFP Conference session, this webinar you’ll learn how to start planning for a Capital Campaign one year before your feasibility study. Learn what critical items to get started on early to position your capital campaign for success!

12 Nonprofit Thank You Mistakes to Avoid with Claire Axelrad

When: September 13, 12:00 pm

Thanking donors is the one thing most nonprofits do not spend enough time thinking about. They focus more on the gift than the giver. It’s the Pareto 80/20 rule in reverse: 80% of the time is spent in acquisition mode— crafting the fundraising appeal, getting embroiled in design, layout, printing, postage and project management. Only 20% of the time goes towards a focus on building the relationship that will cause that donor to give again. As a result of this short-sighted approach, nonprofits, on average, are losing 81% of first-time donors and 54% of ongoing donors. It’s a time-sucking, resource-wasting treadmill. Appeals are duly sent. Gifts arrive. But then what?! 

After you’ve sent out your appeal is too late to start thinking about what your thank you letter or email will say. Or who will sign it. Or whether someone who donates online will also receive an actual letter. Or thank you call. Or who will make the call. Everything must be well thought-out in advance. You must be ready to go with different templates and strategies for different target audiences well before you’ve asked for your first donation. This webinar will help you think through your thank you process, put procedures in writing and get others on board.
