In this episode of the 7-Figure Fundraising Podcast, hosts Trevor and Tarren Bragdon explore the key strategies outlined in their new book, 7-Figure Fundraising: A Guide to Raising Millions to Change the World. They discuss the practical, step-by-step approach nonprofit leaders can use to transform their fundraising efforts and scale their impact.
- Why We Wrote the Book: To help nonprofit leaders understand fundraising both at the big picture level and with specific tactics. It’s a short, actionable read—just 127 pages.
- Key Lessons:
- Fundraising is a Skill: No one is born a natural fundraiser—it’s a skill you can work on and improve.
- Three Levers of Fundraising Growth: GROW your existing donors, KEEP them by increasing retention, and ADD new donors strategically.
- Focus Areas for Success:
- ASK: Ask once a year with the right timing and a persuasive pitch.
- PARTNER: Treat major donors like partners with a 4-star level of service.
- FIND: Add a few new donors each year by securing referrals and hosting strategic events.
- Team Roles:
- Closer: The person who makes the ask—often the CEO.
- Conductor: Manages donor relations and ensures they receive top-tier service.
- Connector: Focuses on finding new donors and setting up prospect meetings.
