A manual for a successful development department
Want to fundraise over a $1 million?
Development Department Donor Relations Manual, I share our approach to managing donor relationships through four key stages: Prospecting, Cultivation, Solicitation, and Stewardship. I outline our strategies for identifying potential donors, engaging them through tailored communication, soliciting contributions effectively, and maintaining lasting connections. I emphasize the importance of leveraging a donor database for detailed tracking and data accuracy, discuss the nuances of accepting different donation types, and underline the significance of personalized appreciation in keeping donors committed. This manual represents my commitment to enhancing our fundraising efforts by fostering strategic, respectful, and enduring donor relations.
