Three powerful words that speak to the power of the BrightDot Approach
Our unique and powerful fundraising consulting and coaching techniques work wonders in delivering larger and more generous donations each and every time. What do we mean when we say the BrightDot approach works wonders? It’s not magic -- but it is all about three powerful words that speak to its effectiveness as a method: Donors, Dreams, and Delivered.
DONORS.
Donors are the lifeline of your non-profit. These individuals have passion for your cause, and that makes them the driving force behind your organization’s ability to do good in the world. Our coaching services provide you with the skills to develop and curate positive donor relationships in multiple ways. The BrightDot approach can teach you not just how to cut donor cultivation time in half but also proven and effective methods to turn first-time donors into lifetime investors, providing the long-term support that’s so crucial your organization’s continued success.
DREAMS.
This is more than just the dreams of your donors to make the world a better place. It’s and also the dreams, aspirations and goals of your organization to reach fundraising goals, which in turn enables you to reach as far and wide as possible in your efforts to make a difference. The BrightDot approach is all about supporting your organization’s dreams and keeping your staff motivated, especially when it comes to staff hiring and training assessment to prevent that dreaded 18-month turnover, as a cohesive team performs better and achieves their dreams together.
DELIVERED.
THE BRIGHTDOT: Better Together
Taken individually, the BrightDot approach delivers excellent results in boosting fundraising for your organization. Taken together, though — that’s where the real magic happens. When you combine all three aspects of BrightDot together, their synergy powers your fundraising to unheard of levels.
