GLI+ is a new, all-virtual training for camp teams who’ve completed GIFT Leadership Institute (GLI). The purpose is to guide your team in establishing or strengthening a Major Donor Program to lead to greater donor loyalty, deeper engagement, and fundraising breakthroughs.
GLI+ is invitation-only. Organizations that have completed GLI are eligible to take part in
GLI+.
In
GLI+ you will:
- Learn how to establish and build a major donor program
- Learn how to design and conduct donor “discovery” meetings
- Create individual goals and plans to meet those goals for each donor
- Roll out your plans and conduct supportive progress meetings for portfolio holders
Even if your camp has enjoyed some success with major donor work, you will benefit from
GLI+’s focus on:
- Proactively identifying and qualifying more donors
- Assigning donor portfolios to each team member
- Crafting individual, customized strategies for each of the top 10% of your donors
- Establishing a team approach to portfolio management with regular progress check-ins to assure progress, troubleshoot issues, and maintain mutual accountability
A reminder that to participate in GLI+ you must have full participation….
- Establish a team of (at minimum) your Executive Director, top development staff, and a lay leader. I strongly encourage you to include some program staff (e.g., camp director) and multiple board members
- Attend two, 120-minute webinars teaching the Structures, Behaviors, and Hearts & Minds of establishing or growing a Major Donor Program
