How to maximize your fundraising success

Are you looking for ways to maximize your fundraising success?

It can be a real challenge for busy nonprofit professionals to find the time to research and implement new fundraising strategies. That’s why we’ve created a new blog series called Fundraising Essentials, based on the ideas and strategies in Erik Hanberg’s book, The Little Book of Gold.  Forbes.com rated this practical step-by-step guide to professional fundraising a Top 12 Must-Read Book For Nonprofit Employees.

Over the next few months, we’ll post articles that will focus on a specific fundraising topic presented in Erik’s book to help you consider how your organization can maximize its fundraising success in that area. And, we’ll provide you with actionable guidance that you can implement right away.

Some of the topics in this blog series will include:

  • Essential fundraising systems
  • Appeals
  • Events
  • Major gifts
  • New donors
  • Planned giving

We hope that, by following along with this blog series, you’ll gain insights that you can implement in your own work to maximize your organization’s fundraising success.
