Why you Must Focus on Major Gifts

About Nancy...
Hi! I am Nancy Rieves, your fundraising coach.
I did not plan to be a fundraiser. I fell into it like many of you!
While teaching leadership, marketing and business classes at a community college, the president asked if I would oversee the college foundation. I declined. I did not like asking people for money, not even for my daughter’s girl scout cookie sales! It was after the president asked me a third time that I considered the role.
After some time and training, I understood fundraising in a whole new light. It was not about me – it was about being a conduit for those who have the capacity to give and want to make a difference. It was about solving problems.
I completed my doctorate studies focusing my dissertation work on analyzing fundraising activities. My biggest discovery from my research was revealing — too many nonprofits focus on event fundraising that results in little net revenue. This discovery led to my emphasis on major gift fundraising.
After overseeing the college foundation and fundraising for a museum, I embarked on a journey to launch a new foundation. After securing the 501 (c)(3) status, I slowly hired a staff to oversee annual, alumni, corporate, major and legacy giving.
With effective board leadership, we established by-laws and policies for the new foundation. I focused on establishing fundraising processes and building an effective team. This amazing team raised over $16 million dollars and established endowments for many programs.
I knew little about fundraising when I started. However, I knew the importance of meaningful relationships and helping others make a difference that is meaningful to them.
