About Jonathan R. Glasoe

Over 20+ years consulting nonprofits in fundraising from software to the \"ask.\" Practical, pragmatic and proven. Campaigns need to have two goals: raise the funds and create a development department able to grow beyond the campaigns conclusion. Have you ever had to weed out the local golf course membership directory contacts from your database, entered by well meaning, if inexperienced, CFRE-certified development staff because no staff or volunteers knew anyone at the golf course knows - or has reason to care about - your organization\'s campaign? Has your organization gone through a fundraising campaign only to discover after the campaign there is no structure (or staff) left behind to continue raising funds? Fundraising requires tactical support to make strategy a reality. Campaign consultants design and influence staff to administer strategy at the volunteer level, but what\'s happening with under-trained staff behind the scenes to support those volunteers? Or worse, experienced and yet inefficient,\"this-is-the-way-we\'ve-always-done-it\" team players hosting one more \'knock it out of the park\' event to raise the same amount of funds as asking one well-informed, educated and emotionally engaged donor? If you know what\'s in your database, is it over-loaded with non-donating, under-donating prospects and fundraising processes guaranteed to deliver mediocrity or development infrastructure mired in fear of technology combined with development skill? Campaigns are work; make an investment in strategy implementation success with a more productive, targeted and disciplined system that integrates WITH your campaign. Contact JRGlasoe to create a development department beyond the campaign, because if you\'re managing a nonprofit, you\'re never out of campaign mode.#fundraising #raisingmoney #campaigns
