Fundraising Campaigns
Raising the Operating Revenue You Need To Achieve Significant Impact.
Every nonprofit has a mission—whether it’s feeding the hungry, educating children, providing medical care, or enriching lives through the arts. But a mission without money is just a dream. That’s where Major Gifts Ramp-Up™ (MGRU) Fundraising Campaigns come in.
MGRU Fundraising Campaigns are designed to secure the immediate, reliable funding your organization needs to deliver its programs, support its staff, maintain its facilities, and sustain its impact. This isn’t about launching a one-time appeal or chasing small gifts—it’s about creating a consistent, scalable revenue stream that keeps your mission fully funded.
Understanding the Real Costs of Your Mission.
One of the biggest mistakes nonprofits make is dividing their expenses into “program costs” and “overhead.” This false division leads organizations to starve the very expenses that make their programs possible—like staff salaries, utilities, facility maintenance, and even the cost of fundraising itself.
At Major Gifts Ramp-Up™, we take a different approach. We believe that fundraising costs, management salaries, facility expenses, and even utilities are all part of your program costs because they are the foundation that makes your mission possible.
- Your CEO’s salary isn’t overhead—it’s the leadership that drives your impact.
- Your facility maintenance isn’t an extra expense—it’s the space where lives are changed.
- Your fundraising team’s salaries aren’t a cost center—they are your revenue generators.
MGRU Fundraising Campaigns allow you to embrace the true cost of your mission—without shame, without compromise, and without fear.
How MGRU Fundraising Campaigns Work.
Major Gifts Ramp-Up™ Fundraising Campaigns are designed to raise large-dollar gifts from individuals who believe in your mission. These campaigns are carefully structured to provide a clear, step-by-step path to success:
You Begin with a Clear Financial Goal: Whether you need to raise $100,000 or $10 million, we work with you to define a specific, measurable goal that covers the full cost of your mission—including programs, staff, and facilities.- We Design a Complete Campaign Plan: This is not guesswork. MGRU provides a fully written campaign plan that includes timelines, donor scripts, prospect profiles, and a step-by-step strategy to achieve your goal.
- You Build Relationships with Major Donors: MGRU teaches you how to identify, qualify, and cultivate individuals who have the capacity to give five-figure, six-figure, or even seven-figure gifts. We show you how to turn new relationships into reliable revenue.
