1. Everything in One Place
Information ‘collection and cleansing’ should be your first step; ahead of any fundraising campaign, you should ensure all information is in one place.
2. Building Relationships and Prospects
Nonprofits frequently approach donors for repeat donations. Relationships will help you build a Leadership Team, which I will discuss further in Section 4. This Leadership Team can be composed of supporters, volunteers, directors, and employees, and will work together to conduct outreach.
3. Outreach
You send out emails, you send out marketing materials, and you can have a website. All of these activities (and data) should work together to help you achieve your goals and move your campaigns forward.
4. Leadership Team
Your Leadership Team is composed of the people who care about your organization. This team may include individuals who are your employees, outside supporters, or volunteers – anyone you are able to incorporate into the Campaign.
5. Stewardship
In order to get more donations, you need to have a process that encourages fostering long-term relationships and repeat donations – this requires stewardship. Your organization needs to maintain the relationship with your donors, otherwise, you may find that after you get one donation, the donor leaves.
Summary
I hope you found this walkthrough helpful. I truly believe that anyone can fundraise, given the correct tools. It is so important for nonprofits to have access to these tools – in order to build capacity and serve your communities better, you need money. For many nonprofits, fundraising is viewed as burdensome or aspirational.
