@lpdiversa: @mcahalane On some days yes, but it is actually a zoo (I'm here 2 days/week) #smnpchat |
@nimbyist: Q1 How does a small nonprofit go after major gifts? #smNPchat |
@LWClay: A1: need to know your donors backwards, forwards, inside out. #smNPchat |
@GailPerrync: Ok, small nonprofits need a major prospect list first of all. #smNPChat |
@GailPerrync: They need to focus down to a very few deep pockets #smNPChat |
@kathyhowrigan: RT @GailPerrync: Ok, small nonprofits need a major prospect list first of all. #smNPchat |
@mcahalane: A1: compelling case... Organized database... #smNPchat |
@GailPerrync: Need to identify potential major donors who really are passionate about the cause. #smNPChat |
@WinGrants: A1: I look at similar orgs in the same region to see who's supported them (annual report, 990, etc.) #smnpchat |
@IanMAdair: I'm here peaking in between presentations today. Don't let @EmmaLewzey & @kathyhowrigan fool you guys they are seasoned pros! #smnpchat |
@nimbyist: RT @GailPerrync: A1: Ok, small nonprofits need a major prospect list first of all. Focus down to a few deep pockets. #smNPchat |
@laynegray: A11. Have a strong story to differentiate from bigger guys a to how the $$$ will be used. #smNPchat |
@alexandrapeters: @GailPerrync Where does the major prospect list come from? #smnpchat |
@mcahalane: @WinGrants I do the same. Ask brd members to bring me annual rpts, etc. #smNPchat |
@nimbyist: @IanMAdair Hiya! Glad you could poke your head in, even if briefly. #smNPchat |
@lpdiversa: RT @GailPerrync: Need to identify potential major donors who really are passionate about the cause. #smnpchat |
@GailPerrync: Put them in a list and rate them on two criteria, 1. deep pockets and 2. interest i your org #smNPChat |
@MrsMcDowall: A1 For us our MD have come from personal networks of the founders of the org. Know your donors for sure! #smNPchat |

@GailPerrync: Word of mouth is also a great way to id prospects. People love to talk about other people's money! #smNPChat |
@kathyhowrigan: A1: You have to align np needs with the prospect list, but to do that you need to have a clear mission, compelling case. #smNPchat |
