The Cost of Getting This Wrong

Every day a Major Gifts Officer position stays open, your organization loses ground.

80% of fundraising revenue comes from 20% of donors — major gifts officers are essential to revenue

Officers must manage portfolios of 100–150 prospects through identification, cultivation, and solicitation

Finding officers with both relationship-building skills and the confidence to make large asks is rare
