The challenge we face:

Entrepreneurs often don’t fit the paradigms we use to assess the strength of a fundraising prospect. Their capacity to give doesn’t increase in a linear fashion like other professions, their time constraints around becoming involved are often the inverse of other donors, and the most tax advantageous way to make their gifts is often to give before they actually have experienced the large liquidity events around selling a company or going public. That said, entrepreneurs give 50% more than other professionals making the same income and they often make transformational gifts to organizations once they have the means. They also bring a perspective and approach to providing advice to organizations that is unique to their line of work.

Dee Dee Mendoza discusses how some organizations have approached engaged entrepreneurs in their pre-exit philanthropy stage through the use of founders’ pledges, recognition society engagement, and providing value to entrepreneurs that is needed at each phase of their company’s lifecycle. If your organization wants to provide for its long-term health and have a competitive advantage in your sector, this episode will be an important piece of information in building your entrepreneurial approaches.

In this episode we’ll discuss:

Challenges around engaging entrepreneurs in traditional fundraising paths.
The benefits organizations can offer to entrepreneurs during their company’s early phases.
How tax implications affect entrepreneurs and their giving.
What a Founders’ Pledge Society looks like.
What people get wrong in engaging entrepreneurs.
How to engage entrepreneurs while their wealth only exists on paper.
How to book founders’ pledge gifts for your record keeping.
Places you can find more research on entrepreneurs and philanthropy.
Why it’s fun to work with entrepreneurs.
How to get on the calendar of entrepreneurs in your portfolio or database.
How to learn more from Dee Dee and stay up to date with the latest in this field.
