“The world of a fundraiser can be exceedingly complicated. For those readers who have explored game theory, think of every prospective donor as a multi-iteration actor whose own choices and preferences are hard to know. Add to the complexity the needs and expectations of bosses and boards, and one can quickly see how challenging the work can be. With increasing noise, distraction, and choice added to the equation, the difficulty of making the right choices becomes clear.” From “Focused Fundraising” (p. 125) by Cannon & Felberbaum #focusedfundraising #majorgifts #fundraising

Raise Money FAST with GALA strategy...NEVER toss a coin and hope for the best. Three Things: 1. You don't need to spend a lot of money to make a lot of money. 2. Everybody is not coming to your party, because there is no "party". 3. There is one expenditure that should 10X your investment in 1 hour or less. A professionally trained Benefit Auctioneer Specialist. Hundreds of galas and 60 plus million raised, I learned three things the hard way before I found the golden ticket. I was forced to raise money like every other Executive and Development Director: "Do what other people are doing in places where they do it" or "We've always done it that way". It didn't make sense then and it certainly doesn't now with a proven five step process guaranteed to keep you in the black. Next I'll tell you how we did not spend 20K to make 8K. Reach out for your Discovery Call for your game changer. You can't afford not to.

Instead of a Patreon, I think smaller creators should embrace donations, especially when the subjects they cover are incredibly niche. Direct donations can provide immediate support and help maintain a closer connection with their audience. This approach allows creators to focus on producing unique and specialized content without the pressure of meeting subscription expectations. 💡✨ What do you think? #ContentCreation #SocialMediaManagement #SMM #VideoEditing #GraphicDesign

TONIGHT AT 6:30 PM join us for an improvised version of PVP Circuit and help us rebuild our local community brick by brick. I still can't believe I get to work in the video game industry. My 6-year-old would laugh, and then cry once she realized what it means to work in the creative technology sector. That's why IMO everyone could use some levity during these unprecedented times. Join us for a fun evening to raise funds for the Trevor Project. Event link >>> https://lnkd.in/g7tBuP6d Frequently Asked Questions: What if I can't attend the event? - If you can't make it, please consider purchasing a ticket to help us raise money for charity or get one on behalf of someone impacted by layoffs. What if I want to join but can't justify the cost? - If you want to join but find the cost prohibitive, DM me and we'll make it happen (see point above). Do I have to pitch at the event? - No, you don't have to pitch if you prefer to observe. It’s a great way to see how it's done. Will there be another event like this? - We plan to host our community again, but I can't specify if this event will be the focus. #gamesindustry #event #comedy <3
