Major Gifts and Big Ideas

Effective major gift strategies are built on a foundation of proven best practices, a keen awareness of the organization and its influential players, and innovative tools that optimize data. Big Ideas translate the critical needs of the institution into multi-layered funding opportunities that appeal to donors at all levels, and will transform the organization in important ways. I help organizations:

• Create in-depth proposals that address key institutional challenges.
• Use visual techniques to guide major gift portfolio priorities.
• Structure and lead development strategy sessions.
• Refine prospect strategy in concert with institutional partners.
  
• Inspire donors to give at the high end of their capacity.
  
• Define metrics and goals for Annual, Major, and Principal Gift Officers that match job duties and organizational culture.
