  9. P Invigorating your fundraising reach • Key alternatives: • Grants/Foundation support • Event sponsorship (in-kind or cash) • Peer-to-peer fundraising (small enlistment events). xponential philanthropy

  10. P Limitations xponential philanthropy DGR 1: a"doing" DGR • public benevolent institutions • Universities • environmental organisations • cultural organisations…and more. DGR 2:a"giving" DGR exist only for the purposes of providing donations to "doing" DGRs • Includes public or ancillary funds. A DGR 2 may not fund another DGR 2. As a Community Service Organisation, Zonta would need to apply via a charity that has DGR status. Consider grant writing as a community service.

  12. P Event sponsorship Can we leverage influence within membership to approach key local businesses? xponential philanthropy

  13. P The pitch: making the ask xponential philanthropy • Personal solicitation far better than letter of request. • Research the company/person prior to meeting (why this project is a good fit). • Know what you are asking for: build a solid case for support/fit. • Prepare a written sponsorship proposal. (Check website for terms of reference.) • Outline the benefits to the company • What can you offer in return? • Logo placement on promotional material • free seats at event • company rep to present prizes etc

  14. P The most effective way to solicit a BIG GIFT xponential philanthropy Person-to-person Person-to-group Telephone conversation Direct marketing Via the internet In person-to-person fundraising, the ASK must be carried out by someone with a relationship with the prospect to maximise the gift size. The ‘best’ person is the one the donor will find it hardest to say ‘no’ to.

  15. P Peer-to-peer fundraising xponential philanthropy ZontaClub fundraising to support Anglicare’s new home-away-from-homelessness • Host one or more small cocktail parties for up to 25 guests. • Ideally, invitation comes from Patron/Chair who will be in attendance. • Best case scenario: sponsor/supporter pays for catering so no cover fee. • Handouts: brochure/pledge forms. The power of personal testimony! Client presentation or field worker.

  16. P Emotional fundraising Provide enough information to allow the prospective donor to respond emotionally first …then logically. xponential philanthropy
