A two part series on Major Donor Fundraising. Ruth has years of experience and now wishes to share her knowledge with you. Each is described in more detail below.
This website summarises the best lessons I have learned in Major Donor fundraising over 28 years. I have worked both as a practitioner and Major Gifts Consultant. I focused on Major Donors early in my fundraising career because it made sense to find 10 people who will give £10k+ rather than aiming to recruit and maintain relationships with 100 donors giving £1,000 or 1,000 giving £100.
