E.D. Exchange – May

Join fundraising specialist Kerry Suddes of Suddes Solutions. In this hour, she’ll speak to building a comprehensive Funder List, including individuals and institutions, to serve as the centerpiece of your Tin Cup fundraising efforts.

Building Your Qualified Funder List

If you’re struggling with scattered focus, process, or routine in your fundraising efforts then The Qualified Funder List is the place to start. When you make one list the centerpiece of your fundraising practice, you can simplify routines and habits that:

• Focus on your most capable and aligned relationships first and with consistency
• Raise more funds from fewer, more qualified relationships
• Maximize your time and return on energy

Peer Discussion will focus on:

• Identifying current process for relationship management — what’s working and what’s not
• A 3-step process for building and utilizing your Qualified Funder List
• Defining what makes a qualified relationship for your organization 
• Embracing new habits that drive organizational focus toward one list
• Building confidence for deeper funder conversations and asks
• Maximizing existing relationships and building promising new ones
