What’s Wrong With “Major Gifts”?

Today You’ll Learn

•  Actionable knowledge of what a “major gift” is and—is not

•  The critical role “major gifts” play in producing sustainable revenue

•  A clear path for achieving your true “major gift” potential

Fundraising Zen

Focus on the concepts.

Resist over thinking.

Put your mind in the zone.

So, what’s wrong with “major gifts”?

Just about everything.

What is “major”?

How big is “major”?

It’s NOT about money.

Some make it ALL about MONEY:

•  “Don’t get left behind in the major gifts gold rush.”

•  “Major gifts—the fundraising machine.” •  “Want to raise big money? Everyone is

doing it with major gifts.” •  “Experience the magic of major gifts.”

Some make it about themselves.

It’s really about the DONORS.

Shoot for high commitment.
