Introducing the 3-to-1 Major Gift Fundraising method—a simple way to help you remember to give back to your supporters before asking for another donation.
How It Works
For every donation from a major supporter, you should:
- Thank them for their contribution.
- Report on the results of their gift, showing its impact.
- Provide an engagement offer to keep them involved before making your next ask.
One Thank You + One Report + One Engagement Offer = Ready to Ask Again
Once you complete all three steps, you’ll be ready to ask for your next gift!
To make it easier for you and your fundraising team, we provide two great options for the 3-to-1 Major Gift Fundraising Notepad:
- Download the Digital Version: Get instant access to a downloadable PDF of our popular notepad, designed to help you track each step easily.
- Order a Physical Notepad: Tell us how many notepads you’d like to receive and we’ll send them to you for free (up to 10)!
Once you complete all three steps, you’ll be ready to ask for your next gift!
