When you use words that resonate with current and prospective donors, you grab their attention. You draw them in. Rather, you break through the noise and distinguish yourself.
Donors take action when they understand your needs and how their dollar makes a difference.
Donors are looking for organizations that make a difference in areas close to their heart. If you can clearly and compellingly articulate the impact of your work, you will never struggle to raise money and will reach your fundraising potential.

Hey there...
I'm Nancy Rieves
YOUR FUNDRAISING COACHI 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 securing larger gifts.
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.
Join me in my FREE mini-workshop where I share my discoveries and roadmap that has helped fundraisers raise six-digits in support in their first six months.
