Philanthropy AND Fundraising – HDG Speaking @ Nonprofit Learning Lab
Philanthropy is different from Fundraising. One is a required strategy if the other is going to succeed.
Fundraising decreased 5.6% in many nonprofits … how about yours?
Data is telling us that Fundraising is HOT this year!
“The Fundraising Effectiveness Project (FEP)” has released its results for Q1 2021, and they show that the number of donors grew by a projected 10% from the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020, while the retention of new donors grew by 13.6% over the same time period, “just two signs that fundraising continues to fare well overall.”
As a reference, you will recall that last year’s 1st Quarter results for 2020 showed a growth of over 7% in fundraising from Q1 2019, so that is TWO years of Q1 growth!
But wait…you say you aren’t seeing these results?

With that knowledge in hand, we identified strategic opportunities to generate the revenue needed to meet their objectives, and delivered findings for review and discussion by the foundation board that identified and outlined strengths; areas of opportunity for both short term and long term results.
Capital Campaign Case Study: Goodspeed Musicals
Our work with the Goodspeed Musicals included the development of a campaign strategy and plan including donor identification, as well as office and board structure enhancements for capital campaign success. During our engagement, training was developed and delivered to board members to create strategies for donor engagement and outreach. We worked closely with Goodspeed’s leadership to create a marketing and communications strategy and collateral materials and created reporting mechanisms to track donor solicitations, pledges, and gift acknowledgment. With the leadership and board members, several lead donors were identified and working with and alongside the Goodspeed team, guiding them through the cultivation and solicitation process with a donor.
