32 weeks тому21:39

21:39

What do you do when you're hit with a tough question—one you didn’t expect and don’t have a polished answer ready for? Whether it’s a curveball in a donor meeting, a media interview, or a town hall Q&A, today's episode of the 7-Figure Fundraising Podcast breaks down three clear strategies you can use to stay composed and persuasive—even under pressure. Trevor shares a memorable story from the Miss Teen USA pageant that became one of the first viral “word salad” moments on YouTube—and how most of us would probably stumble in similar high-stakes situations. From there, he walks through three tactics you can practice and deploy to answer confidently, clearly, and concisely. What You’ll Learn The 3 go-to frameworks for answering tough questions: Two Points – A simple, structured response to organize your thinking. Story + Insight – A technique to connect emotionally and drive home a takeaway. Thinking Then and Now – A method for gracefully correcting misinformation. Why pausing for just a few seconds before responding can help you sound more thoughtful and credible.

51 - Don't Project Fundraise 24:00

1 year тому24:00

24:00

In this episode, Trevor Bragdon and Tarren Bragdon discuss why project fundraising is not a sustainable strategy for nonprofits. They compare project fundraising to a gift card that offers a one-time benefit but does not engage donors in the organization's overall mission. They explain that project fundraising can actually cost money and send a negative message internally. They emphasize the importance of having a compelling vision and avoiding one-off projects that distract from the organization's mission. They provide tips on how to pitch the big vision to donors and build long-term partnerships. Takeaways Project fundraising is not a sustainable strategy for nonprofits as it reduces the organization's vision to one-off projects and can cost money. Donors who are engaged in the organization's overall mission are more likely to become long-term partners. When pitching to donors, focus on the problem you solve from their perspective, present a solution that feels safe or unique, and explain how it works in a concise and compelling way. Share success stories that demonstrate the impact of your organization's work and paint a vision of how lives will be improved in the future. Avoid project fundraising and instead focus on building relationships with donors based on the organization's big vision.

View Episode 46 Show Notes on our website here . To grow your fundraising, focus on these 7 steps. 1. Ask Donors Only Once a Year (1:22) This is how major donors organize their giving Match your ask to their timetable Don’t nickel and dime your major donors by asking them for a big donation and later asking them for smaller donations or sponsorships. 2. Treat Donors Like Partners (5:05) Poverty versus the Partnership Mindset What does treating a partner look like See Episode #42 - Creating a 5-Star Donor Experience How to create a great thank you letter: 5-Sentence Thank You Letter Creating a 100 day plan for new donors, see Episode #35 - How to Never Lose a Donor 3. Add a Few New Partner Donors Each Year (12:00) You don’t need hundreds of new donors. A few can go a long way Focus on warm leads Referrals - ask your donors for only one referral Script to use: "Is there one person, who is like you, that I should talk to about supporting our work?" Referrals have some of the highest close and retention rates for new donors 4. Have a Big Vision (17:49) Why is this important? If you are trying to figure out your Big Vision Think about 1 year first Then 2, then 3 Book: Vision Driven Leader by Michael Hyatt 5. Make a Compelling Pitch (23:06) Nonprofits are complicated and do lots of great things, but sometimes it's hard to explain everything How to talk about your work and make it memorable Watch an overview video of our 8-Step Pitch Template Read: The Ultimate Guide to Pitching Major Donors 6. Execute on the Big Vision (30:17) Execution is just as important as a big vision Build trust with execution - show you are doing what you say Books on building systems for execution Traction by Gino Wickman 4 Disciplines of Execution by Chris McChesney and Sean Covey 7. Staff with Fundraising Specialist (33:04) Connector - the person who reaches out to prospects and works on securing a first meeting. Closer - the person who meets with donors and makes the ask Cultivator - the person who manages the donor relationship throughout the year, ensuring they are getting a 5-star experience from the nonprofit.
