Plan Your Entire Fundraising Year

Too many fundraising programs feel disconnected.

One month you're planning an event. The next you're writing an appeal. Then you're scrambling to prepare for Giving Tuesday or year-end. Every campaign feels like you're starting over.

Inside the membership, you'll learn how to build a cohesive fundraising plan for the entire year . . . a plan where your campaigns, major donor outreach, stewardship, stories, and communications all work together toward the same goals.

Instead of constantly reacting to the next deadline, you'll know what's coming, what to work on next, and how each piece of your fundraising supports the next one.

Event Fundraising

A successful event isn't just about what happens the night of the gala.

The biggest fundraising opportunities happen before guests arrive and long after they leave. Yet many organizations put almost all of their energy into planning the event itself.

Inside the membership, you'll learn how to turn your events into stronger fundraising campaigns. You'll discover ideas for creating compelling invitations and sponsorships, engaging donors during the event, and following up afterward in ways that deepen relationships and encourage future giving.

Because the goal isn't just to host a great event. It's to raise more money and bring more donors back next time.

Report Back to Donors

Most nonprofits work hard to ask for gifts, but many don't spend enough time showing donors what their generosity made possible.

When donors can clearly see the difference they made, they feel more connected to your mission and more confident giving again.

Inside the membership, you'll learn simple ways to report back to donors through stories, emails, newsletters, and other communications that build trust, deepen relationships, and encourage future giving.

Because every gift should lead naturally to the next one.

Storytelling

Stories are what help donors care.

Inside the membership, you'll learn practical storytelling techniques you can use in appeals, emails, newsletters, websites, social media, and conversations with donors. You'll discover how to find stronger stories, capture meaningful details, and write stories that help people connect emotionally with your mission.

You'll learn storytelling frameworks taught at the Nonprofit Storytelling Conference

Whether you're just getting started or looking to strengthen your storytelling, you'll build one of the most important skills in fundraising.

Learn How Donors Think

What if you could sit down with generous donors and ask them the questions you've always wanted answered?

That's exactly what we did.

Inside the membership, you'll hear donors respond to questions like:

What motivates you to give?
What makes you decide not to support a cause?
How do you decide the size of your gift?
What convinces you to make a larger donation?
How do you prefer to be asked?
What turns you off?
What is the best way an organization has built a relationship with you?
How much communication do you actually want?
What do you expect after you've made a gift?

Instead of guessing what donors are thinking, you'll hear their answers in their own words. These conversations will help you better understand what inspires generosity, builds trust, and creates lasting donor relationships.

Find Answers to Almost Any Fundraising Problem

Movie Mondays is a searchable library of more than 275 conversations with fundraisers, executive directors, board members, donors, and other nonprofit professionals.

We asked people about the fundraising problems they faced, what they tried, what worked, and what they learned along the way.

Need help working with your board? Search for it. Trying to get a meeting with a major donor? It's there. Planning an event? Working with volunteers? Looking for better stories? Wondering how to make a major gift ask?

With hundreds of conversations covering nearly every part of fundraising, chances are someone has faced the same challenge you're facing and can help you figure out what to do next.

It's like having hundreds of experienced nonprofit professionals you can turn to whenever you get stuck.

Weekly Fundraising Tactics and Q&A

Every Thursday, Josh Alcorn, co-producer of the Nonprofit Storytelling Conference, and Sarah Lundberg of The Better Fundraising Company host a live session focused on one practical fundraising tactic.

Each week begins with a short presentation you can put to work right away. Then Josh, Sarah, and their guests open the session for questions and discussion.

They regularly bring in conference speakers, favorite past presenters, and other fundraising experts to cover topics such as appeals, major donors, monthly giving, stewardship, events, leadership, and donor communication.

Members get an easy link to join each week, along with convenient access to a collection of selected past episodes inside the membership.
