Learn How Nonprofit Fundraisers raise more money faster and easier during and after a global health and financial crisis

COVID-19 gripped the world for months. It was both a global health calamity and a challenging financial crisis. Many nonprofit organizations had program and event cancellations which were financially devastating to the fundraising efforts of the organization. 

If you’re a fundraiser asking, “How do I raise money in the midst of COVID?” This course is for you! We will take what you already know about fundraising and create a plan that works right now in these uncertain times.

There’s no time to waste because you’ve tried everything that worked for you in the past and it just isn’t working! The difference now? You’re ready for real results. And not just someday but starting right now.

You want to know how to engage donors and raise money even without in-person meetings and events.

Without a repeatable system and reliable process to raise money, you’re in trouble. There’s more noise in the fundraising world than ever before — and it’s only getting tougher to be heard, win attention, and tell the story of your nonprofit.

Get the Cold Hard Facts

Most fundraising strategies being taught right now are outdated, misguided, or just plain don’t work. Make 100 cold calls a day? Blast out 10,000 newsletters? Spam your whole network on email? Tell me you didn’t!

Or worse – assign yourself to work on your database notes – redoing you portfolio, revising your gift model, trying to find auction items in hopes there will be an event held, posting on social media about programs that aren’t happening, webinars, prospecting for new donors on social media, reading other nonprofits’ annual report to find potential donors, pushing a rock up the hill with a rope (just kidding about that last one). Just reading that list is draining!

Don’t confuse activity with fundraising.

The fact is there’s a huge difference between “calling people just to check in” and what I help my clients with – fundraising strategies that WORK to raise more money faster and easier.

I will share what I learned by conducting 11-weeks of virtual interviews with nonprofit experts to learn what we should do to revive our fundraising efforts before the end of the calendar year.

The world BC (Before Coronavirus) is totally different from AC (After Coronavirus). In this six-week workshop, Robin will talk about the trends that emerged that will help us navigate the aftermath of a crisis. Her new book, Putting the Fun in FUNdraising: Secrets to Raising More Money Faster and Easier has a section specifically dedicated to crisis fundraising in uncertain times.

BY THE END OF THE COURSE, YOU WILL HAVE: 

  • Vital knowledge from weekly group coaching calls with Robin to assist you in applying the concepts and answering your specific questions.
  • A plan to engage your donors and increase their loyalty instead of spending yet another day ruminating over what used to work.
  • Figured out how to operate from a place of strength. You will know what works for you. Let’s face it, not everything that you hear is right for your style of fundraising.
  • Organized your portfolio to engage and steward donors. You must have a plan for donor-centered fundraising or it will not work.
  • Strengthened your case statement for these times to complement your marketing material and brochures.
