You know the one:
“Oh, we just need you to handle this real quick!”
“It’ll only take 10 minutes!”
“Everyone else is busy!”

Spoiler: It’s never 10 minutes. It’s never just one thing. And you definitely did not sign up for this. 🫠

Five checks, two minutes, and you'll know whether your gift chart is a plan or a wish.

Most charts fail check 2 — the top tier is full of ranges and ""to be identified.""

That's normal. It's also fixable, and way cheaper to fix now than mid-campaign.

Save this for budget season. Comment CHART for the full worksheet.

And hey, fundraisers? We've all built gift charts on hopes and dreams.

When you’re the only fundraiser at your organization, every challenge rests on your shoulders.

No one else feels the weight of the ask, the strategy, or the “what ifs” like you do.
We see you. And we’re here to help.

👉 Book a call with our team and let us take some of that weight off.

Three steps. No pitch.

1️⃣ Quick intake (15 min) - Tell us what’s happening.
2️⃣ Real assessment - Not the board version. The real one.
3️⃣ Discovery call - No pressure. No pitch. Just figuring out the best next step together.

We're not here to tell you what to do and disappear. We're here to do it with you.

How do I tell my board we're not ready without sounding like the person who killed the campaign?

You don't kill it. You re-sequence it. "I'm on your side. I want this too. That's exactly why I want us to pressure-test readiness before we make a public promise we'd have to keep.

Not yet is not fear. It's sequencing.

Comment WORDS for the full board-safe script.

If you're like me, your hands get clammy and you start sweating before you ask someone for a gift.

Maybe you think a donor won't give.
Maybe you think they'll say, how dare you.
Maybe they'll think you're chasing them.

I've been doing this 20 years.

And I've never heard a donor say I can't believe you asked me to make a donation.

I've heard I'm sorry I can't give more.
I've heard I wish I could, but this isn't the right time.
And I've heard - more than anything else in 20 years - thank you. Thank you for asking me.

If asking freaks you out - same. I still get nervous before a big one.
But you're not alone. promise.

The sun’s shining, the days are long, and you deserve a break. ☀️

Have you booked your summer vacation time off yet? Take the rest. Take the break.

The world will keep turning - and the donations will still come in. Remember, rest is productive!
