Step By Step Fundraising Newsletter

May 2010

Last week I asked what questions you had about corporate sponsors. I've honestly been amazed by the positive reactions.

Several responses reached a broader topic than just corporate gifts. In general, do you find new donors and get big donations? How do you develop solid relationships so that they will want to give? How much should you ask for? Excellent questions!

Now thanks to Christopher Davenport of Movie Mondays for Fundraising we have some answers.

Last year he interviewed 17 fundraising professionals from all types of nonprofits to see what was working for them. He took the best parts of those interviews and put them on 3 DVDs called How to Find and Cultivate Donors.

These videos teach you how to:

• Grow your donor base

• Recognize potential donors

• Get the first initial meeting with prospects

• Conduct meetings and presentations

• Overcome obstacles

• Ask for an appropriate level gift

• Establish and build trust with supporters

• Find out what donors value

• Deepen relationships for long term success

I'm partnering with Chris to offer Step by Step Fundraising readers this DVD set. For a limited time you can pick up "How to Find and Cultivate Donors" at half off the regular price. Plus, you will get 3 bonus DVDs too.

That's 6 DVDs in all that you can use in to train board members, committees, volunteers, staff members, and capital campaign teams. The videos are broken down into small segments so it makes it easy to show them during meetings, or just watch a few on your own when you have time.

Hurry...This special price ends Friday, May 7th 2010.

If you're at all interested in getting more donors, then at least check out how the DVDs will help you. How to Find Donors - Special 3 DVD Set (plus 3 Bonuses)
