In this episode, Trevor Bragdon and Tarren Bragdon discuss why project fundraising is not a sustainable strategy for nonprofits. They compare project fundraising to a gift card that offers a one-time benefit but does not engage donors in the organization's overall mission. They explain that project fundraising can actually cost money and send a negative message internally. They emphasize the importance of having a compelling vision and avoiding one-off projects that distract from the organization's mission. They provide tips on how to pitch the big vision to donors and build long-term partnerships.

View Episode 46 Show Notes on our website here . To grow your fundraising, focus on these 7 steps. 1. Ask Donors Only Once a Year (1:22) This is how major donors organize their giving Match your ask to their timetable Don’t nickel and dime your major donors by asking them for a big donation and later asking them for smaller donations or sponsorships. 2. Treat Donors Like Partners (5:05) Poverty versus the Partnership Mindset What does treating a partner look like See Episode #42 - Creating a 5-Star Donor Experience How to create a great thank you letter: 5-Sentence Thank You Letter Creating a 100 day plan for new donors, see Episode #35 - How to Never Lose a Donor 3. Add a Few New Partner Donors Each Year (12:00) You don’t need hundreds of new donors. A few can go a long way Focus on warm leads Referrals - ask your donors for only one referral Script to use: "Is there one person, who is like you, that I should talk to about supporting our work?" Referrals have some of the highest close and retention rates for new donors 4. Have a Big Vision (17:49) Why is this important? If you are trying to figure out your Big Vision Think about 1 year first Then 2, then 3 Book: Vision Driven Leader by Michael Hyatt 5. Make a Compelling Pitch (23:06) Nonprofits are complicated and do lots of great things, but sometimes it's hard to explain everything How to talk about your work and make it memorable Watch an overview video of our 8-Step Pitch Template Read: The Ultimate Guide to Pitching Major Donors 6. Execute on the Big Vision (30:17) Execution is just as important as a big vision Build trust with execution - show you are doing what you say Books on building systems for execution Traction by Gino Wickman 4 Disciplines of Execution by Chris McChesney and Sean Covey 7. Staff with Fundraising Specialist (33:04) Connector - the person who reaches out to prospects and works on securing a first meeting.
