A Halloween Treat For You

Hi all! I know it’s not Sunday and it’s not time for the next issue of The Fuel Tank.

But I thought that Halloween would be a great time to share a free resource with all of you in the nonprofit space that may have an intense case of the scaries now that there are only two months left in 2024.

That’s right. Just 2 months to hit your annual goals. But that’s not what this is about. Here’s the more frightening part. There are just 2 months to get your 2025 plans in place. That’s where I want to help out.

I’ve spoken often about the immense value of asking deep questions. So I’ve put together a guide that can spark the needed discussions both within your organization and externally with your donors, prospects and partners.

The guide - 2025 Fundraising Playbook: Strategic Questions for Success - is broken down into the following sections:

• Reflecting on 2024: What Worked & What Didn’t

• Deepening Donor Relationships

• Engaging New Prospects

• Growing Corporate Partnerships

• Taking Action To Keep You On Track

Questions in the donor, prospect and corporate sections are divided into two parts - introspective and external.

So there you have it. While all those kids are out there collecting free candy, you get a free resource to kickstart important conversations!

I only ask for one favor in return. Please, please, please let me know what you think of the guide. I value your feedback. So reach out, either right here through email or message me on LinkedIn.

And if you end up utilizing some or all of it as part of your planning exercises, I’d love to hear about it!

Thanks again. See you in your inbox on Sunday!

All my best,
Dan
