For nearly a decade, Mastering Major Gifts had been my passion project — a program dedicated to helping nonprofit fundraisers like you secure transformational gifts. I had the honor to see countless fundraisers gain the confidence and skills they need to achieve extraordinary results for their organizations.
But over the course of my career, my focus shifted.
My work with Capital Campaign Pro grew into an exciting and demanding new chapter, allowing me to help nonprofits succeed in bold new ways. Unfortunately, that meant I could no longer dedicate the time and energy Mastering Major Gifts deserved. So after much reflection, I made the difficult decision to sunset the program.
Other Ways You Can Learn from Me
Learn Capital Campaign Fundraising
Capital Campaigns are the pinnacle of fundraising. There’s truly no better way to boost your fundraising skills and capacity than to conduct a successful campaign.
A capital campaign is likely the biggest amount your organization has ever tried to raise. And since most nonprofits conduct capital campaigns once only every ten or even twenty years, it’s unlikely that you have a lot of experience leading a campaign.
Take Your Organization to the Next Level
But what you probably have in spades is the drive to bring your organization to the next level. So let’s do a quick check.
Ask yourself these four questions:
- Has your organization outgrown your current facilities, or is it time to expand?
- Do you have a big vision and/or a plan to serve more people?
- Could there be a more effective way to achieve your mission?
- On a personal note, are you eager to leave a legacy before retiring or moving on?
If any of the above rings true, a capital campaign is likely on the horizon for your nonprofit — but you’re probably not sure where to begin. No worries, I’ve got you covered!
