Desmond Gratitude makes it easy to exceed your fundraising goals with your individual donor program. When you are in crisis or dreading the budget ahead, reach out to me. I've been there. 

With me, you'll have an in-depth plan that brings an additional "Development Director Thought Partner" to your program at a fraction of the cost. 

This is a sample of what I do with many organizations...

Pillar #1: Steps & Deliverables

• Examine donor data from the last three years, what worked well, what to trim out.

• Create a monthly individual donor budget based on your organization’s current budget. Set quarterly goals to measure progress and feel successful.

• Design a Development Plan and Calendar of Activities to reach those goals.

Pillar #2: Training

• We will have benchmarks to reach, and will also solve “in the moment” problems or training needs. For example, you may say, “I have a major donor meeting tomorrow, and I feel unprepared," and we'll dive in and get you ready.

Pillar #3: Coaching

• We will meet at a consistent time, every 1-2 weeks, based on your schedule (~4 hours a month)

• We meet primarily on Zoom. 

• You'll have email access during the workweek to problem-solve, edit messaging drafts, etc.

• 2 hours of coaching for the Executive Director are available as part of the monthly hours.
