Fundraising Strategy & Implementation

At the heart of any successful fundraising campaign is well-articulated message that touches the heart, a strategy for efficiently and effectively delivering that message, and a growing number of people entering the donor cultivation process.  DSG has expertise developing:

 

• Major donor, corporate and foundation cultivation strategies
• Donor file growth strategies
• Ministry communication selection criteria
• Messaging and communication storyboarding and writing
• Seasonal fundraising strategies (Year-end campaigns, New Year vision casting, Summer appeals, etc.) 

Leadership Development

A major donor or foundation’s confidence in a ministry is usually directly linked to their confidence in the ministry’s leadership and governing board to successfully accomplish ministry objectives, cast vision for the future of the ministry and sustain the ministry during difficult times.  DSG can help bolster major donor confidence through:

 

• Executive leadership development coaching
• Board enhancement and coaching 

Event Logistics & Coordination

When a major donor event is done well and within the context of an overall communication strategy, it has the ability to have a return of 10 to 1 or greater. Having put together literally hundreds of major donor gatherings, DSG can manage:

 

• Major Donor Founders’ Weekend
• Major Donor dinner events
• Multi-city development “vision-casting” tours
• Business breakfasts or luncheons
• Home “dessert” gatherings
• Ministry Vision-Trips
