Introduction

Welcome to Fund Raising Consultants’ new blog! We are incorporating the advances of the technological world with our knowledge, experience and expertise to create a support resource for you and your organization.

This blog is designed to provide you with simple tips and psychological determinants related to donor-driven and relationship-based fund development.

FRC will publish weekly blog posts, providing information on a variety of topics. Some topics may only require one post, while others may span a few weeks. Most posts will be text-only as we feel this is the most direct approach. However, as it becomes appropriate in context, videos and articles may also be included.  Some examples of topics to be covered, include:

·         The difference between charity and philanthropy

·         Donor engagement techniques

·         Psychological implications of donor behaviors

·         Reading the donor and profiling for success

·         Gratitude and appreciation

·         Donor relations and retention

·         Pros and Cons of incorporating technology into the philanthropic world

·         Board recruitment and development

·         Financial accountability and stewardship – from the donor’s perspective

·         Leadership – the importance for both staff and board

·         What is the donor ‘really’ saying…and how to continue the relationship once you have the gift
