Summary: Telling your story, developing your value proposition, and answering the question “Why should donors give to you?” Testing our message by running a short campaign to raise a small amount of money, usually 10k-50k in 4-6 weeks.

Summary: Lay out the whole year in development. Make sure that no important dates or milestones are missed during the year. We will map out large efforts such as quarterly or bi-annual campaigns, block out times for travel to meet with individual donors, and ensure you have enough time in the office to make the methodical development moves before and after trips that will result in larger gifts and a better close ratio.

Set up giving levels and giving clubs. This will include monthly, annual, and legacy giving levels.
