💡 Essential July Checklist for Nonprofit Success in Q3 Reflecting on my journey as a business owner, I've learned the importance of constantly reviewing what's working and what's not. This month, I'm focusing on strategies to close out Q3 strong. Your nonprofit organization can benefit from these insights too! Here are 5 key tasks to focus on in July to close out Q3 strong: 🌟Make a list of all your 2025 events: Conferences, fundraising galas, runs/walks, workshops, mini-series, etc. 🌟Set financial goals for each event: Include money from sponsors, ticket sales, major donors/gifts, auctions, etc. 🌟Identify brands to reach out to for each event: Some brands may support all your events, while others may support only one or two. 🌟Review your 2024 sponsorship history: Assess where you need to make adjustments. 🌟Update your sponsorship decks: Change pricing, benefits, messaging, etc. Book an Audit and Alignment service with me if you want a personalized review of your sponsorship deck and actionable recommendations! #NonprofitSuccess #Q3Goals #SponsorshipTips #EventPlanning #BusinessGrowth What strategies are you implementing to ensure a strong finish for Q3?

Tap into the network of your board members. They are more connected than you know it. Some have worked with some of the biggest corporations you know of. Others are connected to CEOs, CSR directors, business owners etc. They may also be related or acquainted with these groups of business executives. Without harnessing this rich source of sponsorship network, you may end up leaving quality funding, resources and support on the table. In business, there's what we can the low-hanging fruits. These are your low-hanging fruits. You need to harvest these opportunities before spending resources on reaching out to prospects outside your circle. A Houston school campaign organization I worked with was able to meet its entire annual budget by simply using this strategy. How then do you harness your board member’s network? Simple! Create a sponsorship portfolio for each board member. This should contain their official emails, marketing messages to their network, fundraising appeal letters and emails, sponsorship proposals with their names on them, etc. You can even go as far as working with them to create a list of business owners they know. They can begin to reach out to these individuals daily using the tools you've provided them. This way, they can support your sponsorship campaign and actively contribute to funding the organization. Reach out to your board members and get them to start supporting your campaign today. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask. #sponsorship #nonprofit #fundraising #funding
