IdahoPTV has benefited greatly from the consultative services of Lewis Kennedy Associates. Their experience was invaluable to us not only in our major giving efforts, but within the entire giving pipeline. They also were instrumental in our discussions with our regional and foundation boards as they considered unification.

Major Giving Campaigns

Major giving campaigns that build higher levels of support

Major giving programs are built upon relationships – both inside and outside of your organization. A clearly stated vision and compelling goals must begin within your organization if you hope to capitalize on shared values with your donors and stimulate their support. The bigger and more ambitious your vision, the larger the gifts you will receive. Be bold. Think about what you could do if you had the resources.

Major donors give careful thought to their contributions, so your fundraising efforts should be equally thoughtful and deliberate. It’s not a donation you seek, it’s a partnership. Your donors want to invest in helping organizations that serve their areas of interest and their communities. We can help you build a stronger connection to your organization’s most valued stakeholders.

Cultivate and grow

When you plant seeds of thought and inspiration, you can reap great results. We’ll help supply the ingredients for your success including:

  • A strategic plan for ongoing cultivation of major donor relationships
     
  • Creation of a compelling long-term vision and goal
     
  • Mission points to help your organization better communicate the value of investing in your organization and how their participation will benefit the community
     
  • A plan for keeping donors engaged with excitement and passion
     
  • Strategies for upgrading donor support
     
  • An internal scheme for handling donors as they move throughout the giving ranges in your continuum to maximize retention efforts
