Did you have any major funding fall through this year?
It leaves you with a pit in your stomach, thinking, “How am I going to make up for all those lost funds?”
But there is a way forward! You can start by building your individual giving program at your nonprofit.
Individual giving is both intriguing and intimidating if you’re a new nonprofit or trying to diversify income an organization that has historically been funded by foundations.
There are so many types of individual giving:
- Do you do traditional or digital?
- A membership program?
- A major giving program?
What do those terms even mean?! Donors don’t grow on trees, so how do you find them and attract them to your mission?
It’s hard to know where to begin, but the good news is that there are some clear, concrete steps you can take to start building and growing your individual giving program today!
In the 2-hour, hands-on intensive, Getting Started With Individual Giving, you’ll learn:
- Basics of annual planning for individual giving.
- Where to find donors and how to attract them to your mission both off and online
- The stages of the donor pipeline and how to get started building your pipeline
- Types of solicitations and ways to ask individuals to give
- Tracking your program and how to scale up
- + more!
The process of building an individual giving program may seem overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. You can get started with a couple of spreadsheets and a written plan, but to grow sustainably, you need to plan ahead for success!
This intensive will show you how!
