Develop a PLAN + District Infrastructure 1. To Raise Awareness of RPCs • Urge DGEs & DRFCs to appoint Dist. RPC Chair + Cmte ~ RPC programs + Speakers Bureau ~ Promote RPC Fellow Applicants 2. To Identify, Cultivate & Solicit Prospects • DRFC – Major Gifts + Permanent Fund Chair ~ Add RPC to “the story” when discussing Gift Options ~ Use TRF “tools” to assist
Tips for Success • Learn the Basics about the RPC Program • Leadby example – it WILL create a ripple effect • Involve the prospect’s spouse, when appropriate • Remember: the identification, cultivation and solicitation processes are the same for the RPC-MGI as they are for otherMajor Donors, Bequest Society (Permanent Fund) & AKS prospects
Tools + Ideas that Lead to Success RESOURCES Utilized in Successful Cultivation & Solicitations: • RPC Video • Named Gift Opportunities + simple RPC commitment form • Rotary Peace Fellows & Alumni, TRF Staff • RRFCs, RPC+ MGI Cmte Members [+1 will help on $1M+ asks] • TRF Trustees, RI Directors: past, present and incoming YOU don’t need to be the one to “Ask” to be Helpful: • Be the “door opener” – invite a guest to an event • Tell your story why you support TRF or RPC program • Say “thank you”
One of the Most Productive Activities •What: Series of “small, hosted dinners” (lunch) •Purpose: to cultivate + set stage for “the ask” •Who: 8-12 qualified prospects + 3-4 DRF Cmte •Program: 1-1/2 to 2 hrs: meal & speaker/video – RPC Fellow or Alumni, RPC Donor, TRF trustee, RPC or MGI Committee member, RI staff, etc. Alternative Concept: “Million Dollar Dinner”
