Ask Kinetic!
Do you have a tough fundraising question?
Send your questions to askhartsook@kineticfundraising.com and we will respond by email. Your question may be featured in a future eHartsook on Scouting.
QUESTION: Why should we consider hiring a professional consulting firm?
Even the largest and longest-standing nonprofits only undertake a handful of major campaigns over their lifetimes, and very few of their staff members will have participated in more than one or two of those campaigns. In contrast, a professional consulting firm has seen it all. Also, what’s often needed is an outside, objective perspective before a nonprofit pursues a campaign. Professional consultants can say what needs to be said (but what no one has been willing to say). This kind of insight can really help jump start a nonprofit’s fundraising for raising more money to fulfil their mission. |

Strategies for Success: The Future of Major Gifts and Estate Pledges is Now
Heavy reliance on an annual fund or special events mires a nonprofit in an almost hopeless cycle of transactional donor doom. Instead, wake up and smell the benefits of a well-conceived major gifts and estate pledges program. Those who do will succeed well into the future; those who don’t will continue to slog in the fundraising doldrums of mediocrity. Go here to read more.
