Introducing... The Donor Cultivation Method

Most fundraisers struggle to know WHO to put into their major gift portfolio, WHAT cultivation techniques are the best to use, HOW to move a prospect into solicitation, and WHEN to ask for the gift. These are critical cultivation elements for fundraising success and all have to be in sync for your major gift program to thrive and grow.

Over 15 years doing major gift work and 10 years as a major gift coach, I’ve slowly and quietly cracked the code on how to cultivate major gift prospects in an effective, meaningful, and thoughtful way. 

An end-to-end, turn key, proven system that helps YOU build deep, meaningful relationships with major gift prospects and donors and set you up for solicitation success. 

The Donor Cultivation Method is built to help you crush your fundraising goals and turn you into an effective, efficient, and successful fundraiser! If you are building relationships with donors and prospects in the hopes of closing a major gift, this masterclass is for you!

This self-guided masterclass will teach you the ins and outs of moves management, common cultivation pitfalls to avoid, how to get in the door with new prospects, what you need to walk away from your first meeting with, how and when to engage program staff and leadership, how to salvage relationships with upset donors and prospects, and so much more.

Here’s a sneak peek of what you’ll learn inside The Donor Cultivation Method:

The Donor Cultivation Method Masterclass

You’ll also receive lifetime access to The Donor Cultivation Method course and videos, which includes a
45+ page workbook that will take you through all 6 modules of the course:

Module 01 - Implementing Moves Management


We’ll calibrate on what cultivation is and how it fits into the larger moves management strategy. We’ll also discuss the differences between a move and an activity, the importance of being consistent in your cultivation efforts, and common cultivation mistakes to avoid. 

 

Module 02 - Getting in the Door with Prospects


This module is all about getting you in the door with new prospects. We’re going to warm up any cold relationships with strategies and tactics for using prospect research, making cold calls, the art of the voicemail, and using events in your cultivation.

 

Module 03 - The First Meeting


The first meeting with a prospect is critical so we’ll dive deep into preparing for that first meeting, what clues and cues to listen for, what to leave the meeting with and how to follow up.

Module 04 - Deepening the Relationship


Now that you’re in the door, it’s time to deepen the relationship! We’ll go through thoughtful gestures, how to engage in profound discussion with your prospect, and how to turn things around if they go sideways.

Module 05 - Staying Mission-Centered


We’ll dig into the mission-centered elements that need to be brought into your cultivation efforts, including the role of program staff and leadership, respectfully engaging the beneficiaries of your programming, and how to immerse your prospect into your programming so they see first-hand how their impact will make a difference.

Module 06 - Preparing for Solicitation


We’ll wrap the course up with when to know it’s the right time to move your prospect from cultivation to solicitation. You’ll also receive tactical tips and tricks that came with 20+ years of fundraising.

And because this information is so powerful, I’m able to charge over $5,000 to teach it to my clients one-on-one. I’ve even taught this material in group coaching sessions for $3,500 a pop. Why?

Because with this knowledge they are able to turn cold prospects into raving, loyal major gift donors! But when I decided to package my system into a course that anyone could follow, I wanted to make it as accessible as possible.

And that’s why you can gain access to The Donor Cultivation Method for just one payment of $697.
