 Assess Current Fundraising Operations:

Take some time to look back at your fundraising efforts from the past year. A fundraising audit can help you understand what went well and what areas need improvement. Analyze your fundraising campaigns, donor engagement strategies, and overall financial performance to identify strengths and weaknesses. This reflection will be essential for setting realistic goals for the upcoming year. Growth & Co. has a trusted process we can follow!  

Strategize with a Comprehensive Fundraising Plan:

A well-designed fundraising plan is crucial for any nonprofit's success. It acts as a roadmap that outlines your fundraising goals, strategies, and action steps for the year. Consider donor segments, engagement tactics, communication channels, and fundraising events. Creating a clear and adaptable plan that aligns with your organization's mission can streamline your efforts and maximize your fundraising potential. We've designed fundraising plans with organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters, Ronald McDonald House, Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada, and many more. Be our next partner in planning! 

Craft a Compelling Case for Support:

Effective fundraising depends on your ability to communicate the importance of your cause to potential donors. Craft a compelling case for support that combines factual evidence with emotional storytelling. Highlight the impact of your organization's work, share success stories, and demonstrate the real difference your organization is making in the community. Weaving a persuasive case that resonates with your audience can encourage more people to support your cause. By working with Growth & Co. to create your case, you will have copywriting that you can use in grant applications, speeches, major gift meetings, and any other times you communicate with donors!
