Video is one of the most effective fundraising campaign tools. But, many fundraisers may be wary of taking the plunge and creating their first campaign video due to lack of skills or resources. Luckily, high-production value is not the key to creating a video that converts. Learn what is in our latest blog: https://bit.ly/3DfTDl8

“We need to raise 10% more every year, no matter what.” These words were repeated to me when I worked in organizations where #fundraisinggoals were set and handed down to fundraising staff. No wonder so many organizations have a disconnect between development and leadership, and a cadre of frustrated and burnt out fundraisers. #fundraisingstrategy can’t be set in a vacuum. Here are my high level thoughts for how to create a fundraising #strategicplan. More detail in the article below. 1. Establish Your Baseline - go deep into your data. Remove outlier gifts that are one time anomalies to accurately see what you raise. 2. Conduct a Landscape Survey and Examine Trends - be aware of how the external environment can impact your fundraising. Overlooking this step leads to unattainable goals. 3. Set Big Goals - align goals with desired and projected impact. Little Bean Group can help you think through this process. We are glad to help.

Creating a sustainable fundraising model begins with goal-setting. I've experienced two different approaches that were both appropriate reflections of organizational culture and economic factors.

Launching today: free fundraising readiness self-assessment tool for organisations using sport for good. Findings from the most recent survey on fundraising in the sector indicate that more than a third of organisations in sport for development still have no fundraising strategy and that only 37% met or exceeded their fundraising targets in the last financial year. Building fundraising capacity was consistently cited as one of the single biggest priorities for organisations across the world. Part of our commitment in launching Remedy.sport was to work to democratise fundraising expertise and strategy in sport by providing a suite of digital resources, tools and hands-on capacity building services. These resources and tools will revolve around the concept of fundraising readiness. Fundraising readiness, done properly, requires institutional and leadership self-awareness and an authentic desire to strengthen your organisation’s development areas. This approach will not only serve your long-term fundraising performance, but also your organisation’s broader capacity and capability. It is all interconnected; fundraising does not exist in a vacuum, and should not be viewed in isolation from other vital business functions. And so, together with sector leaders, donors and partners, we have built a comprehensive fundraising readiness rating tool and supporting framework that will help you to identify exactly where and how you can improve your organisation’s chances of fundraising success. The tool will evolve over time, as we gather feedback and insight from the sector. The tool is available now, for free, via the link below, and should take you only 10-minutes to complete. Answer 30 straightforward, multiple choice questions and we’ll send you a personalised report, assessing your organisation’s fundraising readiness across six core readiness areas. Our plan is to use anonymised, sector-wide results to help inform and design future tools and resources in future, so please do share with any organisation who might find this useful! https://lnkd.in/eqJEYwiS
