9 Exercise Fundraising Checklist 9
10 Building rapport Use non-threatening and safe topics for initial small talk. Talk about established shared experiences, the weather, how you travelled to where you are. Avoid talking too much about yourself and avoid asking direct questions about the other person. Listen to what the other person is saying and look for shared experiences or circumstances - this will give you more to talk about in the initial stages of communication. Try to inject an element of humor. Laughing together creates harmony, make a joke about yourself or the situation/circumstances you are in but avoid making jokes about other people Be conscious of your body language and other non-verbal signals you are sending. Try to maintain eye contact for approximately 60% of the time. Relax and lean slightly towards them to indicate listening, mirror their body-language if appropriate. Show some empathy. Demonstrate that you can see the other person s point of view. Remember rapport is all about finding similarities and being on the same wavelength as somebody else - so being empathic will help to achieve this. 10
11 Tips Do your research You talk 20% of the time and allow the prospect to talk 80% of the time If the conversation lulls, think back to your research & ask a question Have an idea of what might resonate with the prospect 11
12 Let s get to know each other Goal Find out 2 facts about the person Where they live? What kind of work do they do (or did)? Find out 3 areas of interest for the other person Discover at least 1 area you intersect. 12
13 Next steps. Follow up thank them for the meeting, summarize what you talked about, provide any information promised at the meeting. Note their interests in your tracking system. Look for ways to continue to connect with the prospect. Invite them to participate in activities events, site tours, meeting a board member. 13
14 Sample questions & phrases Transitions from small talk: Listen I want to talk about something important, I ve got a serious question for you, Thank you so much for meeting with me, I would love to tell you a little about XXX Jane, I need your help. Bring the mission home: Samuel, every day, hundreds of people are diagnosed with XYZ disease, and each year 2,500 will die because they can t afford the medication they need to treat their affliction Janet, I m heartbroken when I look into the faces of these former child soldiers. I see such pain, and I can t believe we don t have the resources to help every single one. Making the ask: Would you consider a gift of XX? You see, Bob, the entire project is $4 million. To reach that, we need three leaders at the $200,000 level. You seemed like a great fit. Would you contribute $50 to pay for 25 meals for the homeless? I m trying to raise $1,000 for the Boy Scouts. Will you donate $100 to help me reach that goal? If they say no I can appreciate that. I can t possibly give to the campaign with both of my kids in college. You can answer, So our objective is to figure out how to make it so you can make the gift you want to the campaign while spreading the pledge payments to make tuition payments easy. Is that it?
15 Sample meeting Hi Ruth, how are you? How are the kids? (Pleasantries) Listen, I ve got something important to ask you. (Make the Transition) As you know, I ve been on the board of the free clinic for almost a year now, and it s something that is very near and dear to my heart. (Make the Connection) Every time I visit the clinic, I see meet the nicest families, who seem just like mine, only they can t afford even basic medical care for their children. I see kids who have to be admitted because their families couldn t afford antibiotics for a simple infection. It s very sad! (Make Them Cry) Ruth, right now, we can only serve about 50% of the families who need our help. Our goal is to be able to serve every single family and child that needs medical care at the clinic. We need to raise another $100,000 to make that dream a reality. (Tell Them Why) Would you be willing to contribute $250 to help us reach that goal? (Make the Ask) From, 15

18 Step 2: Analyze Past Fundraising Efforts What was the return on investment (ROI)? If it didn t work, can we improve? Given similar results, what can we expect this year? What new opportunities are coming up? Strategy Number of Prospects Asked/Invited Response: Number and Percent (divide response # by number of prospects asked) Expense (including staff Income time in $$) Net Amount Raised Average gift (gross raised divided by # of responses) Who Participated?

33 Elevator Speech Exercise A compelling one-minute message provides an introduction to your organization, its brand, and the work that you do. This simple exercise allows you to create a Mad Libs style one-minute message that will leave your audience asking for more. How do you use it? Just replace the underlined words with your own. One minute message: (Name of organization) believes (deeply held value). Everyday we (verb) (object) for (constituents), because (problem statement). Example: Community Initiatives believes that people starting projects that serve the public good shouldn t also have to become experts on taxes, accounting and human resources. Every day we provide a legal framework and quality professional support to nonprofit initiatives to allow them to flourish. Because when leaders can focus on their vision, instead of being distracted by back-office administrative tasks, they have the greatest chance of improving our community. 33
34 What is a case statement? When talking to potential donors, a copy of a compelling case statement continues to present the case for support long after the meeting has concluded. A case statement can be included in a grant application as justification for the request. For direct mail or campaigns, the message can mirror the case statement and in the case of direct mail, illuminate the copy that you include with the appeal letter. Organizations might use their case statement on their website. The case statement acts an informal script when phoning prospective donors; all the important points are gathered in one easily accessible document. A condensed version of the case statement, reduced to a page or two, can serve as hand-outs when donor prospecting. 34
35 Writing a case statement 1.The Introduction: Exceptional case statements always begin with a story. Make the reader feel emotionally invested in your nonprofit by using storytelling to establish a personal connection. 2. The mission and the vision: Outlining the mission statement of the organization answers the why do we exist? question and painting a bold and courageous vision for the nonprofit s future leaves no doubt as to Why should we care? 3. The history: Summarize how it all began. From the founding of your nonprofit to the work it has accomplished so far. Include the philosophy, those key values and beliefs that drive your organization s approach to answering the needs and providing the services of its mission. 4. Explain the work: Your donors, supporters and prospects need to know about the important work being done. What are the programs and services the nonprofit is currently involved in and what are the ongoing requirements to keep these services coming? 5. Successes and results based evidence: Here is where data and storytelling connect, in the tales of lives changes, testimonials of success, those the organization has helped. 6. Money and funding: Dreams and visions all come with a monetary cost to accomplish. By telling donors why the funding is needed and what results will be achieved, you are inviting them to become participants in the vision. 7. Visuals: Don t clutter your case statement with solid blocks of text. Create visual emphasis with charts, graphs or maps demonstrating growth. Use carefully curated images of your organization at work and captivating pictures of beneficiaries the nonprofit has helped. 8. Highlights: Is there anything that stands out in your nonprofit s favor? Has the organization recently won an award? Anything else puts the nonprofit in the limelight? Recent press releases or articles, events that received public commendation, etc. 35
36 Making the Ask: Role Play You have been divided into groups of four and assigned the following identities: #1 Board Member: Play a member of the board of directors. You have been on the board for 2 years, but this is your first time meeting with a donor. #2 Staff: You have been on staff for three years. You have strong knowledge of the organization s programs. The organization has determined that this prospect is ready to be asked for an annual gift. #3 Potential Donor: You are involved in your community and serve on another nonprofit board. You have never made a donation to the organization. You are married and have two teenage children. You and your spouse earn $245,000 a year. As a GenXer, you need to feel as though every dollar you contribute goes to something you believe in. #4 Observer: You are there to observe the solicitation and share their thoughts and reflections during the debrief that will follow the role play. 36
37 Making the Ask: Role Play Assume that the Board Member (#1) and the Prospect (#3) have a personal connection and this is not a cold call. #1 and #2 should take 5 minutes to plan their solicitation using the tips below. At the same time, #3 and 4 can put themselves in the shoes of #1 and 2 and discuss amongst themselves how they would approach the solicitation while they wait for #1 and #2 to make their pitch. a) Start with small talk to establish warmth and rapport. b) Introduce the subject c) Get to the point. d) Be prepared to explain. e) Make the close 37
38 Making the Ask: Debrief Prospects Did the team listen well? What advice would you give them moving forward? Board & Staff Would you do things differently now that you have had a chance to practice? Groups What did you learn? 38
