Major Gift Fundraising

from First Day Podcast Hosted by The Fund Raising School

Maarten Bout and James Hodge discuss the eight-step process of effective major gift fundraising, emphasizing the importance of a benefactor-centric approach, relationship-building, and understanding the philanthropic behaviors of donors to achieve philanthropic inevitability. They stress the significance of values-based fundraising, building a team around the donor to ideate and explore their passions, and maintaining relationships with donors rather than solely focusing on fundraising goals. By asking the right questions and being a moral trainer for donors, fundraisers can connect benefactors to projects that carry on beyond their lifetime and accomplish something important in the world.
