How about you? Do you find yourself scrambling at year end just to make THIS year’s fundraising budget?
Then, if you DO reach the goal, do you breathe a sigh of relief on December 31st only to wake up the next day with the same anxiety for 2017? Are you asking yourself, “Will we be able to reach our goals this year?”
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Proactive leaders are looking not only at immediate needs, but also looking ahead, years into the future.
Wouldn’t you rather be able to say this?
“A 3-year campaign has allowed us to smooth out the flow of money that’s coming in. When you’re not driven by events, when you’re not operating on an annual calendar, you’re able to see the impact of your giving start to smooth out over time. We’ve been able to build a much greater reserve than we expected this early in the year. And, it has allowed us to be a lot more strategic. It has really brought a lot of peace to our work and we can be much more intentional with our donors.”
–Justin M., a recent Asking Academy graduate
Wow! Wouldn’t it be nice to approach donors focused more on their needs rather than zeroing in on what we “need” from them?
We all know that planning ahead saves time and money. So I want to reward you for your discipline in planning for what you need to reach your goals. When you book one of these services by January 15, 2017, you’ll save 10%!
