Our meticulous and strategic approach
In this exclusive two-day training experience, we offer a customized solution for your organization. Our program is designed for a cross-functional team of 8 to 10 individuals, including key members of your development team, executive leadership, board members, and development committee representatives. Our goal is simple yet transformative: to equip your organization with the knowledge, insights, and tools needed to deepen donor relationships and propel your fundraising efforts to unprecedented heights.
Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn:
Understanding the Power of Planning: Uncover the undeniable correlation between having a fundraising plan and achieving exceptional fundraising success.
Evaluating Your Strengths and Opportunities: Examine your current fundraising strengths and identify the most significant opportunities for growth.
Cultivating a Culture of Philanthropy: Assess your team structure and organizational culture to nurture an environment of giving and support.
Accountability & Ownership: Create a culture of accountability and ownership, ensuring that everyone has role clarity and is committed to your fundraising mission.
Storytelling that Resonates: Strengthen your case for support and learn the art of engaging, empowering and ethical storytelling.
Data-Driven Strategy: Create a data-informed fundraising strategy by channel, including events, multichannel campaigns (digital, monthly giving, leadership and major gifts, and legacy giving).
Exploring Innovation: Discover exciting opportunities for innovation in your fundraising efforts.
Donor Engagement: Develop strategies to increase donor retention through effective engagement and stewardship.
Board Engagement: Engage your board in fundraising activities and leverage their support.
Key Performance Indicators: Understand and identify the right key performance indicators (KPIs) to track and report on your progress effectively.
But that's not all. Before the 2-day training, we'll work with your team to conduct a fundraising self-assessment. This process will reveal your fundraising strengths and pinpoint areas with the most significant potential for increased giving.
We'll also conduct a pre-training board participation questionnaire to identify how your board is currently engaged in philanthropy and areas where there's room for more profound involvement.
As part of our comprehensive approach, we'll conduct one-on-one interviews with key stakeholders, including your CEO/Executive Director, and Development Director. This extensive preparation helps us tailor the training to your unique needs.
We look forward to partnering with you on this transformative fundraising journey. Unlock the power of intentional fundraising today!
“After a two-day visit to the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay, Tammy prepared a 60-page report detailing our many strengths and opportunities for improvement. Her report is now our roadmap to sustainable funding. I would heartily recommend her anytime an organization is looking to take a good fundraising program and make it extraordinary.”
— David Broughton, President & CEO, Crisis Center, Tampa FL

Tammy has helped us really understand how to communicate better with our donors; how to make sure our mission is at the frontline of their decision-making. She has been an absolute joy to learn from. This is the first fundraising role that I have ever been in before. At 30 years old, I'm wondering how do I rocket-launch my fundraising expertise. You learn from Tammy Zonker, that's what you do!
