10 Best Fundraising Tips.

I asked some of the best fundraisers I know for their ten best fundraising tips.



Here, edited lightly for clarity, are their answers.

  1. Don’t preach to active supporters.
  2. Express gratitude for what they have already done.
  3. No more than two reasons why they should give now.
  4. Ask for the money at the same time as giving the reasons the money should be given.
  5. Read the daily paper and see if a current event fits the campaign.
  6. Smile while speaking.
  7. Shower before work.
  8. Wear deodorant.
  9. Speak clearly.
  10. Have an attitude (positive or otherwise).
  11. Keep a sense of humor.
  12. Remember; people can hear a smile over the phone.
  13. Keep control of the conversation.
  14. Keep passion in your voice.
  15. Make sure you’re earning money for yourself.
  16. Get to the point.
  17. Talk to more people, not less.
  18. Ask high, to get low.
  19. Sound interested.
  20. Talk fast but clear.
  21. Have thick skin.
  22. Do what the donor says.
  23. Be polite –always.
  24. Be persistent -especially on a tough call.
  25. Have a book.
  26. Try to be courteous.
  27. Have rebuttals always.
  28. Try not to pressure too much; make the donor understand the urgency.
  29. Try to speak as clearly as possible.
  30. Try to build a bond; something that you and the donor have in common. A general rapport.
  31. Pitch 3x MRC for sure – you will get some of them.
  32. Listen, listen, listen.
  33. Always do a credit card ask.
  34. Control the call.
  35. Give 100% on all calls.
  36. NOLITE TE BASTARDES CARBORUNDUM “Don’t let the bastards get you down” FUNK is your #1 enemy. When you feel frustrated about a call, take a brief break, drink some water, but stick with it. Things can turn around when you least expect it. But know that your voice carries your frustration. Use your best efforts to remain positive.
  37. Ask advice from other callers on what is working. Focus on what you can do.
  38. Speak clearly and politely.
  39. Ask High. You never know who you are talking to and if you frame it correctly, you will 90% of the time not cause offense.
  40. Strategize- The same approach does not work on all calls. Be adaptable- You might have a set way of doing things, but if it isint working and making you $, what’s the point?
  41. Stay informed- watch/listen to/read the news. Make use of background info provided.
  42. Communicate (A) You are the organization you are calling for as far as the donor is concerned gather information when you build rapport and re-deploy that information later to create a sense of community. i.e. “ I was talking to such and so in y, and they really put a great effort on there during the last election, but we still have a long way to go.”
  43. Communicate (B) Inform managers of problems, concerns, and positive results/ changes. When meeting to strategize on a campaign, be forthcoming with suggestions. Management is making a concerted effort to gather information and and to be adaptable- your contribution is appreciated.
  44. Don’t rob yourself by asking for low $ or not asking for credit cards or spending as much time as you can off the phone. Its harder to make bonus levels and argue for improvements that way- work from a position of strength.
  45. Relax.
  46. When talking to a donor, try to “model” the way he or she speaks (New Yorkers speak faster and more brusquely- southerners speak slowly and softly.) People are more comfortable with people whose speech patterns are familiar to theirs. It helps to build trust and rapport.
  47. Always be energetic and urgent on the phone- if it weren’t important we wouldn’t be on the phone!
  48. Pick an issue in the script that resonates with you so you can speak confidently about it.
  49. Listening is as important as talking. You can get a lot of clues from what someone says, and how they say it, about how to approach them.
  50. Make your initial pitch less than twenty seconds.
  51. Ask the donor for double their previous gift.
  52. If donor info lists Mr and Mrs, ask for only one of them, the one you’re talking too.
  53. when given an objection, reflect with sound reasoning; “I can understand that, however”.
  54. State two important/compelling points, then ask for the pledge.
  55. Don’t ask any questions to which the answer could be “no.”
  56. If donor sounds rude/upset from the start, get them off the phone.
  57. Modulate your voice at all times, keep it natural and conversational.
  58. When the donor is older, only ask/suggest a credit card donation one time.
  59. Make the donor laugh- always.
  60. Don’t pitch an answering machine.
  61. If donor says “I’m out the door”, don’t ask “Front door or back door?”
  62. When donor says “what do you want!” They’re not compiling your Christmas gift list.
  63. When a donor says (I’ll give) “$25.00” Don’t be insulting and say “What’s that? A symbolic gift of $1 each year for twenty five years…..”
  64. After confirmation never say “I gotta go…. The cops are here.”
  65. Ten tips you want? Just use each tip twice. ( go away- leave me alone!)
  66. Have a related bit of info at hand any time the conversation spins off-script. The donor who has something to say is a donor who knows what is at stake.
  67. Re: Script. It’s good to know you have one to go by….. Don’t read it AT your donor.
  68. Don’t be ashamed to ask high… If you give a good enough reason, you can ask for anything.
  69. Talk to your donor. Your body language finds its way into your tone… Sit up, breathe, smile, cry, jab at your monitor; anything to engage with that voice, name, MRC/HPC and address that you have on your screen… Even Slightly.
  70. Don’t ever make a call that you don’t care about. Not worth it.
  71. Have your standards…. Even if only to have something to fall short of.
  72. A good call is only a nice conversation between two people with a shared interest that happens to be about money.
  73. Always ask if a donor has a minute and how they are- use this info to determine strategy for the rest of the call.
  74. Integrate your credit card ask with your top ask and portray credit card (option) as a benefit for the donor.
  75. Never ask for less than 5x MRC- then when you negotiate down, you still have a shot at the triple upgrade.
  76. Plan your shift - know exactly how much you need to meet your financial goals and the most efficient way to get it on your campaign (e.g double goal + 5cc or triple goal + 3cc)
  77. Pay attention to your voice -deeper is more compelling.
  78. Never describe client goals with words that describe possible failure (“we’re trying to”; “we hope that”)- use definitive words instead (“we’re working to”; “we will…”)

Wool Applique Chicks - Tips

All 16 chicks are finished now, and I've started quilting the piece!!! I'm quilting by hand, using a single strand of non-mercerized (not shiny) thread (Anchor brand), which is about the same weight as size 12 pearl cotton. This is how it looks so far...


While I contemplate how to proceed with the quilting, I thought it might be helpful to share some of the design process with you, especially since a few readers have said they might want to try something like this.

Learning the Stitches - Which Ones to Use and Where to Use Them

Sue Spargo's book, Creative Stitching, was very important in my design process. I didn't know most of the stitches when I started this piece. The instructions in the book are easy to follow, and I was able to learn all that I wanted from the book. More than learning the stitches, the photos in the book allowed me to see how she uses the stitches to embellish her wool applique shapes. Also, she writes about the threads and needles she uses. I followed her suggestions for needles, but did not use many of the threads she mentions.


Layout the Shapes

The wool is felted. I bought already felted (correct term is actually "fulled") wool. But you can make your own by washing wool fabric and drying it in the dryer. Here are some useful instructions for fulling wool fabric.

The first step is to cut out the chicks from felted wool fabrics. (Although I made chicks, the shape could be anything... butterflies, flowers, circles, donkeys...) I used 16 different colors, making each chick a different color. I used "chick colors" for some of the wings; others are from a bag of wool scraps I bought at the La Conner Quilt Festival.

I used 60 wt. cotton sewing thread to applique the chicks to the background fabric. Use a thread color that matches the chick color as closely as possible. Although it's a bit shiny, a single strand of embroidery floss would also work for this task.

Starting to Embellish the Chicks

When I finished appliqueing the chicks to the background wool, they just looked like blobs, barely recognizable as chicks. This is not inspirational for starting to embellish! I found that in order to even want to start, I needed to make them more real, more chick-like. So I gave them all eyes, all 16 of them. That helped a lot, but still they didn't feel real. So I gave them all feet, and then beaks. So as not to get bored, I changed thread color for both beaks and feet. Some of the eyes are made with a button; some with a flower-shaped bead; some with a disc-shaped bead. When all of them had eyes, feet, and beaks, finally they began to be chicks, and I was ready to start!!!

Even so... starting is daunting. I used the same method I use (and teach) for bead embroidery... If you've taken a class from me you've heard me say, "Pick up a bead you love, and sew it on somewhere." That's what I did... picked up a thread I loved, picked a stitch that interested me from Sue's book, picked a chick color that appealed to me at that moment, and started practicing the stitch.

When I finished, I just did the same thing again. Sometimes it was the same chick, sometimes I chose a different chick. I kept picking a thread I liked, usually one I hadn't previously used, a stitch I wanted to learn or really liked, and a chick that seemed "to like" the chosen thread color.

After a while, some of the chicks were fully embellished. Once I learned the stitches and had experimented with various threads, I tended to work on one chick until it was finished. But if  when I got stuck, and couldn't think what to do next with a particular chick, I just moved along to some other chick that appealed to me at that moment.


Another way to get started

If you feel a bit timid about starting, you could make a pincushion, such as I did, shown below. It doesn't take a lot of time or materials, and can give you both practice (particularly in making beaks and feet) and confidence.

Personality

I can't help but think of the chicks as youngsters, maybe early teens, with emerging personalities... each, as I work on it, starts to have a story which plays out in my head while I stitch. Once the story begins, it's easier to choose stitches, design motifs, and threads which further develop the story or personality of that chick. Thinking about the chick's personality and background story, keeps me from getting bored, and makes it really fun to work on the piece.


Thread Hints

I already wrote about threads, adding it to the bottom the previous post (or, scroll down one more post).

What's Next?

As usual, I don't know. I take it one step at a time, trying not to figure it all out before I start. I do what I know to do. If there isn't anything I know to do, then I wait... wait for an idea, for inspiration, for a solution... wait until I know what to do next, but only the next thing... I try to ignore the question of what comes after the next thing. That's what I'm doing now... waiting to know what the next step in the quilting process will be.

Tips for Cutting Fabrics for a Hexie Quilt

I'm making 3/4" hexies, which means each of the six sides measures 3/4 of an inch. For these I need to cut 2" squares. (At the end of this post there is a table showing the size of fabric squares that corresponds to each of the standard sizes of hexie paper pieces.) To make each hexie flower, I need 6 squares for the petals and 1 square for the center. This is how I cut them.

The first thing I do, is sort my scraps into piles by size. The easiest to work with are strips. These I iron, sort by approximate width, and stack 6 strips high, aligning the top and right side edges. Then I cut each stack of 6 strips to exactly 2" wide by slightly more than 14" long. From each one of the strips, I will get one set of petals and one center. After cutting 5 stacks of strips (a total of 30 different fabrics), line them up next to each other as shown above, and cross-cut 2" squares through all of the strip piles at once.


Now, pick up the piles of 2" squares, and place them in stacks, alternating the orientation as shown above.


Next, use dressmaker's shears to trim the corners off of each of the piles. Each pile has 6 fabrics, so you are trimming 6 at a time. Re-stack them as shown above. Note that there are only 6 piles in each row. The 7th pile in each stack, I have set aside to use for centers. These I keep separate from the petal sets, selecting a center for each petal set later in the flower-making process.


The final step is to separate each of the piles into 6 separate piles, one for each of the fabrics. You will end up with 30 singles piles, or petal sets, each with 6 of the same cut and corner-trimmed fabric, enough to make 30 hexie flowers.

Certainly there are other, and even possibly more efficient ways to cut fabrics for hexies, but this way works well for me. Some quilters recommend using the squares without trimming the corners. I tried it that way, but went back to corner-trimming because I like not having the extra bulk toward the centers of each hexie. I'm especially glad I trimmed the corners on my Grandmother's Flower Garden hexie quilt, because it was that much less to stitch through in the hand-quilting process.

Sometimes, the fabric scraps are not strips, or would more effectively be cut as a chunk rather than strip. Basically it's the same process. I stack 6 different fabrics, aligning the top and right hand edges. From this stack, I cut a 4 x 6 inch block, and then cut that in half to make two 2 x 6 inch strips. I align the strips the same way as the 14" strips above, cross-cutting several at one time, and finish the same way as described above.

Fabric Cutting Guide for Different Sizes of Hexies

1/4" hexie  --- cut 1" squares
1/2" hexie  --- cut 1-1/2" squares
3/4" hexie  --- cut 2" squares
1" hexie ------ cut 2-1/2" squares
1-1/4" hexie - cut 3" squares
1-1/2" hexie - cut 3-1/2" squares
2" hexie ------ cut 4-1/2" squares
3" hexie ------ cut 6-1/2" squares
4" hexie ------ cut 8-1/2" squares
6" hexie ------ cut 12-1/2" squares

A very handy, and more complete cutting guide is available from Paper Pieces, which is where I get my pieces. Nope, I don't cut my own; too boring, and I really like the precision of die-cut paper pieces!
