Holistic Life Leadership: Non-Profit Fundraising

.“I would ask you to question who’s at the table and who’s not at the table and to think about those voices that aren’t represented when you’re making decisions.”

– James Halliday, Board Chair at Emerging Practitioners in Philanthropy

If you could donate $1M+ to the Non-Profit of your choice, who would you give it to?

 

If you’re a Non-Profit, what would you do with an additional $1M+?

 

If you’re an executive at a For-Profit company, why do you donate to Non-Profits?

Why Fundraising is Important – Just as For-Profit companies need to generate enough revenue to stay-in-business, so do Non-Profits.

 

However, unlike For-Profit companies, Non-Profits give away the majority of the money they receive, in order to fulfill their primary mission; providing a helping hand to others in need.

 

Once the Non-Profit’s expenses are paid, 100% of the donations can be used exclusively to helping others.

Thus; fundraising has a 100% impact with every dollar raised, beyond the Non-Profit’s annual expenses!

 

Creating Large, Fundraising Donations from For-Profit Companies – This donation channel has large, untapped opportunities!

 

These donations will come from a new, diversified Fundraising Channel for the Non-Profits. Meanwhile, the Non-Profits can continue asking for fundraising support from For-Profit companies using their age-old, traditional fundraising approaches.

How do you ask for and get an additional $100K, $1M or more … beyond what For-Profit companies are already donating?

 

The simple answer: help them create new, specific Net Income streams, so they can donate 5%, 10% or more of this realized, new Net Income you helped them create, to your Non-Profit!

 

Not Sure Yet: Here’s a Little Secret – Our teams are already in your backyard creating new Net Income for companies that already donate to your (or ones you’d love to donate to your) Non-Profit. You’re just not getting a direct benefit donation from them.

If you’re a Non-Profit Executive Director, Board Member, etc., you may love the thought of adding $1M+ per year of donations from new or existing corporate partners. But, you may also have a concern about how to approach your current or potential corporate partners.

 

Here’s a little background on our team’s successes at For-Profit companies:

  • Our teams have saved your corporate partners more than $1.2B over the last 20 years.
  • 90 Of the F500’s have used one or more of our services, including #1 for more than 10 years.
    • Do you think it took a ton of business-savvy, for them to climb to being #1 in the U.S?
    • What do they know that many of the other 499 companies in the F500… don’t?
    • Why not use the same services #1 uses at your For-Profit company?
  • 100+ Companies with Revenues as low as $20M per year have used our services to save $100K+

 

Lastly; your Non-Profit wasn’t able to get a direct slice of these big Net Income increases … until now!

 

Now… Non-Profits can get a big donation directly, using our simple, collaborative model.

 

If you’re a talented, action-oriented Non-Profit Executive Director, CEO, Board Member or volunteer that would like to raise $100K+, set up a time for us to explore your unique opportunities!

 

Yes; Odd as it may Sound… Everybody Actually Wins – The fundraising model is so simple, yet unique, that it may come across initially as complex. We just ask people not to overthink it, work professionally with us and collaborate effectively to make a difference!

 

Even though our team’s largest Net Income increase at a For-Profit company was $51M, we still work with For-Profit companies that have as little as $250K Net Income increase opportunities.

 

Here’s a simple example for Non-Profits:

   $1,500,000 – Realized (not theoretical) Net Income increase at your For-Profit Partner company

               10% – Donation % to your Non-Profit 

   $   100,000 – Donation amount to your Non-Profit (directly from the For-Profit Partner company)

 

Do you want to get your Non-Profit engaged in this significant opportunity?

 

It gets harder and harder each year to fundraise using the tired, traditional fundraising models. This is a key reason why the turnover rate is so high in the Non-Profit Development Director position.

 

Is your Non-Profit ready to raise large, sustainable flows of new donations?

 

The beneficiaries of this new fundraising opportunity, are counting on your and our leadership abilities, to get this implemented for them! 

 

Who changes the world? I believe it’s almost exclusively the Top-7%. They are the only ones with the Talent Portfolios and social consciences needed to actually implement significant positive social impact.

 

If you believe you’re one of these executives, we’d love to explore possible opportunities.
