Product Description

Boost Your Nonprofit′s Success!



Written by a sterling group of experts for their nonprofit peers, Major Donors: Finding Big Gifts in Your Database and Online supplies all types of nonprofit organizations with the best strategies for navigating the ever–changing world of fundraising on the Internet. Truly international in its examples, research, advice, and knowledge, this book is rich with avenues and ideas about approaching prospective givers––and generous with cross–cultural tips about conducting cultivation and solicitation in various countries.

"At last, a practical book that helps us move our thinking in the critical future area of major gift fundraising. As one of the oldest techniques in the fundraiser′s armory, we have sat for too long using the same frameworks and techniques; this book offers new thinking, new insights, and new approaches that will help fundraisers harness the potential of the growing band of high–net–worth individuals within their country and internationally. This book is packed with up–to–the–minute, practical information that will enhance existing major gift programs as much as it will help beginners get their head around where to start."
––Tony Elischer, Managing Director, THINK Consulting Solutions

"Institutional advancement is a deeply personal process that requires in–depth understanding of our supporters, to the degree to which specific aspects of our own priorities reflect our donors′ personal aspirations and interests. Prospect research is indispensable to this process and to identifying possible supporters from thousands of possible donors––it would have been impossible for the University of Toronto campaign to have succeeded in the absence of our investment in prospect research."
––Dr. Jon S. Dellandrea, Pro–Vice–Chancellor, Development and External Affairs, University of Oxford

"Major Donors offers some of the best advice from some of the world′s leading prospect researchers, and it will help you to become a much better fundraiser. It is a great resource and an important part of any fundraising library. When you follow the advice in this book, you will raise much more money."
––Harvey McKinnon, President, Harvey McKinnon Associates author of Hidden Gold and How Today′s Rich Give, and coauthor of the international bestseller The Power of Giving


From the Inside Flap

A winning approach to developing international fundraising strategies

Philanthropy is in a renewed golden age. People want to help, to make a difference, to ensure that the things they value will flourish. In order to capitalize on potential prospects, many nonprofit professionals focus solely on the research of, or communication with, prospects. Although research is an important investment of time and resources, and direct contact with each prospect is essential, neither guarantees successful solicitation of a gift.

Major Donors: Finding Big Gifts in Your Database and Online shows you the Internet and database–mining strategies and techniques that are now making it possible for charities both large and small to target their efforts on those with identified resources and demonstrated interest. It is more of a why not? book than a how–to guide in which the prevailing message is "Yes!" Wherever you are, whether professional or volunteer, in Asia, Europe, Latin America, or the United States, you can do it. You can raise huge, transformational gifts. Why not?

This powerful new book equips you to do it, by perfecting the complex process that requires a reliable combination of skills and intuition, experience and curiosity, discipline and spontaneity, and research and conversation. It presents the tips and guidance necessary to aid in researching potential donors more effectively and helps all types of charitable organizations analyze and select the best practices for developing multiple Internet strategies alongside their traditional marketing, communications, and fundraising methods.

Every part of the nonprofit sector, whether an arts group, a college or university, a health charity, a hospital, or a social change/advocacy organization, will benefit from this book and its fully integrated approaches to:

  • Prospecting for major gifts
  • Identifying prospects
  • Gaining insight into their funding interests
  • Finding more accurate and updated information on donors and prospects
  • Understanding knowledge management, database mining, and prospect research
  • Nurturing hot prospects
  • Prospecting research policy, privacy, and ethics
  • Becoming acquainted with U.S., Canadian, and international strategies
  • Considering what your Web site says to major donors
  • Moving from prospect identification to making friends for life

Written seamlessly by respected names in the field for nonprofit managers, fundraisers and leadership of fundraising organizations, knowledge managers, prospect researchers, and Web builders/designers, this book is a powerful tool to help nonprofit organizations understand the great treasures they can discover when they use the barely tapped resources of "e–research" as the first step in a highly personal program to attract big gifts.
