Heck, I’ve even written a handbook on a certain kind of fundraising event. So… I’m not one of those “fundraising events aren’t worth the effort” snobs. Still, it makes me cringe when I’m talking with a non-profit about some fundraising difficulties they are having, or some new program they want to launch, and everyone agrees

Almost every non-profit organization wants to find new prospects to keep their donor funnel full. Without new prospects coming into the pipeline, there won’t be anybody to cultivate, you won’t be able to make any asks, and ultimately, your events, direct mail, and fundraising campaigns will fail. Simply put, your organization needs to be constantly finding new prospects and putting them into your cultivation system.
