Wanna raise a million or two bucks?
Anyone can raise large sums of money if they have a great pitch, careful follow up, consequential relationships and perseverance.
The Perfect Pitch.
Fundraising is a little like baseball. Whether you’re throwing a fastball, a curve, or a change up, you’ve got to serve up something that the batter wants to hit.
So, how do you do that without sounding too much like a fast-talking used car salesman?
Like baseball, its all about serving up the right pitch.
The Game Plan.
You don’t always just hit a home run and odds are, you’re going to strike out at least once. Why not take the bases in order and plan a strategy to win?
Here are some of the elements.
- Compelling Message
- Strategic Vision
- Methodical Events Management
- Precise Follow Through
- Access to Prominent Keynote Speakers
- Knowledge of Classy, Exquisite Venues
- Having FUN!
Building the Team.
Build your farm team in fundraising the same way you’d select team members for your baseball team.
- Can you create a compelling “ask” to woo them to your team?
- Where do you see yourself in six months or a year from now?
- What financial resources do you need to get there?
- What influential leaders (clutch players) are helping you?
- How can you best engage connectors whose influence multiplies their investment?

“I will remember it all – the cheers, the boos, every win, every loss, all the plane trips, the bus rides, the clubhouses, the walks through the tunnel and every drive to and from the Bronx. I have achieved almost every personal and professional goal I have set. I have gotten the very most out of my life playing baseball – and I have absolutely no regrets.” — Derek Jeter, New York Yankees shortstop, February 12, 2014
