Fund Dev: Beyond membership and experiences

• individual giving
• grants
• corporate sponsors

Fundraising (asking)

Philanthropy (more philanthropy less fundraising)

Raising philanthropic support specifically.

Tell stories about impact and outcome.

• Fund development(series of plans, strategy)
• Not a solo activity

Fund development is not transactional for funds can be accumulated

Patron→ Donor→ higher level donor

What do we look for in a donor?

Most of the people we look for as donor are somehow invested already and they are a potential candidate to be a donor. → Who already loves what you do and is already spending money?

Get to know their story, why do they love what you do ?

Look at their curiosity and motivation in the industry, what do they like ?

(Vs charity where there is more cold calling)
