One of the biggest barriers that keeps corporate #fundraisers from meeting their goals? One word: #strategy. A corporate donor prospecting strategy is NOT... 🥅 Cast a wide net and hope companies love us 🎋 Shake the trees of those who know us already 🎯 Target companies who support our cause An effective corporate donor prospecting strategy must be comprised of warm/cold tactics, content lead magnets, thought leadership, networking, and soooo much more data-driven decision-making! Check out Accelerist's new blog by Kiana Mitchell about how to build a comprehensive corporate donor acquisition strategy - https://lnkd.in/et2xVyAH

In a recent poll by Brittany Hill, we uncovered that 90% of #charities rely on cold calling for corporate donor acquisition. But is cold outreach really the most effective approach for nonprofit fundraisers today? Our latest blog delves into this question, revealing the power of combining cold and warm outreach strategies for optimal results. While cold outreach casts a wide net, warm outreach taps into existing connections and relationships. We explore each approach, from crafting compelling lead magnets to leveraging social followers and lost donors through case studies and special offers. But it's not just about choosing one over the other—it's about integrating both into a comprehensive donor acquisition strategy. By doing so, organizations can expand their reach, boost engagement, and secure new corporate donors effectively. >>> Dive into the post and discover how to harness the strengths of cold and warm outreach to drive impactful results. https://lnkd.in/gJqyAmmp #DonorAcquisition #CorporateGiving #OutreachStrategy #NonprofitFundraising

We know prospecting for new corporate donors can be overwhelming and, at times, discouraging. Especially if your approach is mass outreach with no filtering. To see meaningful results, the kind that build transformational partnerships that last longer, you’ll need to get more precise in your messaging.  But how?  Instead of mass emailing all companies, build tailored ideal partner personas for your prospecting audiences. Get super specific - think about categories like industry, budget, company size, and partnership goals to name a few. Ideal partner personas will help you elevate donor engagement, leading to more meaningful support. >> Get started with these 3 steps to building ideal partner personas. https://lnkd.in/gGkvdA43
