Setting appropriate goals for a fundraiser can be overwhelming. Here are the Top 5 metrics to help you set your goals for 2024. 1. Donor Visits The more prospects and donors you meet in person, the more money you will raise. 2. Solicitations The more specific each solicitation is, the more likely it is to be successful. 3. Dollars Raised This metric is a lag measure. It can take 12 or 18 months to build a relationship with a major donor before making an ask. 4. Pledges Made Many of the larger solicitations you make will result in a multi-year pledge. 5. New Monthly Donors Each monthly donation by itself may seem small and inconsequential, but as they grow in numbers, monthly donations are powerful. These five metrics are the best place to start but if you are interested in seeing other metrics to consider and to grab our sample incentive plan, head over to read our new blog at https://lnkd.in/gJbxweUr #petrusdevelopment #catholicfundraising #development #nonprofitfundraising #fundraising #faithbasedfundraising #goals #goals2024 #goalsetting

A Challenge Grant is a type of funding offered to nonprofits where the grantor agrees to match donations or provide funding only if the organization raises a specific amount of money or meets other predetermined goals. Think of it as a challenge that motivates donors to give more because their contributions are matched or unlock additional funding! Why does it matter? Challenge grants inspire urgency and excitement, creating momentum for fundraising efforts. They can help your nonprofit reach new donors, amplify support from existing ones, and boost overall impact! #SolutionsMatter #NonprofitConsulting #ChallengeGrant #FundraisingTips #DonorEngagement #GrantFunding

#NonprofitLeaders, a few stats for you 👇 -- Only 48.1% of donors continue giving after one year, on average -- 46% of donors stop giving due to a “failure to communicate” 🤯 -- 93% would consider giving again to a charity that provided a prompt, personal thank-you and shared the impact of their donation If you’re looking to build stronger donor relationships and raise more money for your mission, I highly recommend Allegiance Group + Pursuant's newest comprehensive guide ⚡️ “How Relationship Fundraising Works: The Keys to Enhancing the Donor Journey to Maximize Your Impact.” #BuildBetter

You know what it’s like, you see an email pop into your inbox asking for donations or support but you’re just heading out of the door, so you plan to come back to it later. Except we all get distracted, and I don’t know about you, but I forget a lot of things. A great tip for getting more donations is to be present: follow up on emails and messages. People are busy and a gentle reminder never hurts, especially if someone has pledged a donation, shown interest, or mentioned to you in person that they would like to get involved. Make your emails and messages personal and include information on how the donation could help. What’s your favourite fundraising tip?

🌟 Did you know? There are various ways to receive support for your organization beyond monetary donations! 🌟 💸 While financial contributions are appreciated, there are diverse avenues for support beyond writing a check. 📈 Consider stock contributions through an investment account or IRA. If your nonprofit has a brokerage account, donors can contribute this way, avoiding capital gains and maximizing support for your mission. 🎁 In-kind donations are invaluable! Individuals or businesses can provide supplies and materials, reducing your expenses and allowing you to allocate funds more effectively. 🤝 Donated Services count too! You can recognize donated services as organizational revenue, stretching your resources further and amplifying your impact. What creative ways has your organization received or given support?

Building strong relationships is key to successful fundraising. Whether it's between fundraisers and charities or donors and causes, connections make all the difference. Here’s how we approach it: • Know Your Why: People connect with passion. Share why the cause matters to you, and potential donors are more likely to see how they can help make a difference. • Listen to Donors: We first build rapport when interacting with potential donors to discover what matters to them. We align their values with the charity's mission and naturally, that relationship becomes more personal and lasting. • Tailor the Message: We know how each donation drives our client’s missions  so we can confidently  highlight how their gift impacts what they care about, making the decision to give more meaningful. It’s not just about asking for donations—it’s about inspiring people to be part of something bigger. #Fundraising #Globalfaces #Teamwork
