Fundraising Strategy for Charities that is sweeping the Nation!

Charities are struggling to raise the funds needed to help those most in need as charitable donations continue to drop due to the sagging economy. So reports say that fundraising efforts are off more than 60%.  Foundations and children’s charities alike are running into problems raising funds.

In the midst of the worst economy in decades, traditional methods of fundraising are not providing charities the means necessary to meet their ongoing expenses, Camps are closing their doors, scholarships are nearing extinction, and charities are frequently unable to serve the needs of those who they’ve helped in the past.

It’s no surprise traditional fundraising methods are falling short as these methods often rely heavily upon stock market performance. When the donors’ investment portfolios are suffering or are in danger of suffering, donors are simply less likely to make charitable contributions. And, charities are painfully aware of this fact.
 
In response to the needs of our clients and the devastation caused in our community by the hole being created where charitable and nonprofit organizations were helping, but no longer can, we went on a crusade.  We knew that there must be something somewhere that could help alleviate this crisis.
 
After crisscrossing the country, and seeing many of the same old tired strategies being simply repackaged, we found what we believe is the “holy “grail” of fund raising.  A strategy that:

1)      Provides an immediate donation the non-profit organization (No strings attached)

2)      Costs the supporter nothing

3)      Provides an immediate tax-deduction to the supporter.

4)      Does not diminish the supporters estate

5)      Provides and immediate and permanent income to the supporter (if the wish)

When I first heard this, I told myself that this must be to good to be true.  I spent thousands of dollars to try it and test it, and now use this on a regular basis for clients who are charitable supporters and the non-profits who can use a hand to keep making a difference

I will talk more about this later, and share some stories of organizations who are raising millions of dollars using this strategy.  If you would like more information, you may contact us through our office or our website.
