Vice President for Nonprofit Leadership and Development at The Murdock Trust | Philanthropy | Capacity Builder
We all want human flourishing and the common good. And $$$ helps. **Obviously** But if you want your foundation/donor money to go further, add the secret sauce of capacity building. Building leaders who learn the skills for this moment, make more strategic decisions, and foster collaborative communities. Most busy nonprofit leaders don’t change by reading a book. Change often happens over time, within a cohort, guided by an expert coach, and focusing on no more than 5 action items.
Join us on Leap Day to hear two experts on capacity building discuss the ins and outs of this important fundraising strategy. Donors and nonprofits alike stand to benefit from talking with Sadie Elliott and Kimberly Thornbury about how to use capacity building to their advantage.

The Most Important, Least Understood Fundraising Truth: You don’t raise more money by converting more prospects into donors each year but by converting more current donors into deeper believers with every passing year. Organizations that retain AND increase the confidence of their current donors year over year will always outstrip those that focus only on raising the most dollars from new donors in any given year. Increasing the confidence of donors requires an institutional commitment. It cannot be delegated to a stewardship office, no matter how well it is lead or how ably staffed. If presidents, CEOs and boards could grasp this one point, they would stop asking fundraisers “Why aren’t you bringing in more dollars this year?” and start asking themselves and their senior administrative team, “Why didn't we inspire more of our donors to have more confidence in our greater long-term potential?”
