Hosted by David Oaks, of WorldStage Development. Minor Touches To Major Gifts is a discussion of how paying attention to minor touches leads to major gifts for your nonprofit. David and his guests wrestle with such topics as how to say 'thank-you' with excellence; How that with major gifts, major people & major opportunities: YOU GOTTA ASK! How that most million dollar gifts are preceded by one-hundred dollar test gifts; What is the ONE thing you you want to try to get a first time donor to do: GIVE A SECOND GIFT! How diversity and inclusion have always been a problem. How treating volunteers like they are already donors works, BECAUSE THEY ARE! Listen to nonprofit leaders and their greatest allies in the business world talk about how pursuing excellence and giving attention to the smallest of details can result in your nonprofit getting all the money it needs!
In today's crowded nonprofit landscape, simply having a worthy cause isn't enough to break the curse of being ignored.Google's groundbreaking research has revealed what fundraisers need to achieve before donors feel comfortable giving: the 7-11-4 rule.This framework isn't just for businesses—it's essential for nonprofits seeking to transform casual interactions into committed donors.FOR FREE TODAY: Create a Welcome Email Series - CLICK HEREGet David's book Visionary Fundraising at Amazon.Get a digital copy of David's book: Visionary Fundraising today CLICK HERESpecial price $5.00You can connect with David at www.davidoaks.net Instagram LinkedIn
In fundraising. When you authentically celebrate even partial success, you often unlock additional giving.It's like a mountain climbing team sharing their journey story while still on the mountainside - their authentic enthusiasm often attracts unexpected support.What does this kind of celebration look like?

I have an acquaintance who loves to put posts on social media about his wife. “She's hot,” he will say.When I see his posts, I feel awkward. What ought to be beautiful and admirable is instead a little repulsive.He even has a shirt, “I LOVE MY HOT WIFE.”AND a coffee mug: “MY WIFE IS HOTTER THAN MY COFFEE”Most of us find this off putting, but fundraisers do this all the time.Your messaging can make audiences uncomfortable - a common mistake that drives donors away instead of building meaningful connections. Nonprofits do it when they never stop telling us how “hot” their organization is. It is repelling and makes you want to look away.Get fundraising strategy weekly from David's Mentoring Mondays email.Get David's book Visionary Fundraising at Amazon.Get a digital copy of David's book: Visionary Fundraising today CLICK HERESpecial price $5.00You can connect with David at www.davidoaks.net Instagram LinkedIn

At weddings, ministers are fond of rehearsing the historical story of Jesus' first miracle. He attends a wedding where the host runs out of wine. At the insistence of his mother, he turns six stone jars of water into wine.The belief in miracles is a matter of personal faith and varies among individuals and spiritual traditions. Personally, I believe it is a miracle every time someone gives away money they could have spent on themselves! Fundraising is participation in the miraculous! But participating in the miraculous requires an understanding...Miracles Require a Lot of WorkAncient followers of Jesus called it "the working of miracles"You can read the story HERESolomon's ancient, "the truth will cost you something"Join me with other fundraisers in my monthly Fundraising Accelerator.Get David's book Visionary Fundraising at Amazon.Get a digital copy of David's book: Visionary Fundraising today CLICK HERESpecial price $5.00You can connect with David at www.davidoaks.net Instagram LinkedIn

As a fundraising consultant, I've encountered countless nonprofits who believe they're telling compelling stories about their work. But when I look at their websites and social media feeds, I'm often left wondering: Where are the stories?Fundraisers think like news reporters when it comes to telling stories. But nothing could be further from the truth. You are not a news reporter, you are a nonprofit storyteller. There is a huge difference in news reporting and storytelling. What I usually find instead are reports. Updates about events. Statistics about groups served. While this information has its place, it's not what drives donations. It's not what connects with donors on an emotional level. It's not storytelling.The Truth About Fundraising StoriesA true fundraising story isn't about your organization or even about the collective impact you're making. It's about one person. One life. One struggle. One transformation.This focus on the individual isn't just a preference—it's a proven principle of effective fundraising. Yet it's one that many organizations struggle to implement consistently.The focus on one, rule is a fundraising principle that's proven, potent, and practically unbreakable.Get a digital copy of David's book: Visionary Fundraising today CLICK HERESpecial price $5.00You can connect with David at www.davidoaks.net Instagram LinkedIn

Describing the need is easy compared with the hard work of finding the descriptive words that paint a picture of the need having been met. If there is one thing I find that leaders don't understand, it is the power of vision. Most leaders think they become powerful when they can describe the need. Not so. Describing the need is easy compared to describing the world, like Pastor Wells, where that need would no longer be valid.Get a digital copy of David's book: Visionary Fundraising today CLICK HERESpecial price $4.99You can connect with David at www.davidoaks.net Instagram LinkedIn
When we fail to recognize and celebrate “firsts,” we miss powerful opportunities to strengthen our relationships, build momentum, and create a positive, thriving culture.In families, celebrating firsts – from a baby's first steps to a teenager's first job – helps to create a strong sense of unity, pride, and mutual support. By acknowledging these milestones, we show our loved ones that we are paying attention, and that we are invested in their growth and success. This builds trust, strengthens bonds, and fosters a family culture of encouragement and celebration.In the business world, recognizing firsts is equally crucial. When a team member lands their first client, closes their first deal, or completes their first project, it's a chance to boost morale, build confidence, and reinforce the behaviors and values that drive success. By celebrating these achievements, leaders demonstrate that they value their employees' contributions and are committed to their professional development. This, in turn, fuels engagement, loyalty, and a positive company culture.On a societal level, marking firsts – from groundbreaking inventions to historic civil rights victories – helps to shape our collective narrative and propel us forward. These milestones remind us of our capacity for innovation, progress, and overcoming challenges. They inspire us to dream bigger, to push beyond our perceived limits, and to work towards a better future. When we neglect to celebrate these firsts, we risk losing sight of our shared accomplishments and the power of our collective potential.Get a digital copy of David's book: Visionary Fundraising today CLICK HERESpecial price $4.99You can connect with David at www.davidoaks.net Instagram LinkedIn

People who are tens on the leadership scale attract other people who are tens, nines, eights, and lower. Sevens attract other sevens, sixes, fives and so on. Threes can attract other threes, twos, and ones.People who are a five on the leadership scale don't often get to work with tens. People who are tens on a leadership scale rarely team up with fives. This is just reality.Remember, you are somewhere on that leadership scale. Your number on that scale matters supremely. It determines who you attract into your orbit. Here's the good part. With some effort, you can raise your leadership ability and begin to attract people of a higher caliber to your mission.Get a digital copy of David's book: Visionary Fundraising today CLICK HERESpecial price $4.99You can connect with David at www.davidoaks.net Instagram LinkedIn

Visionary fundraisers know that telling the truth makes people free, but first, it makes them miserable. This is where story comes in. Storytelling takes a gentler approach and minimizes potential resistance. This is why one of the most revered teachers in the world said he used story:That's why I tell stories: to create readiness, to nudge the people toward receptive insight. - Matthew 13:13 - MSGAll Jesus did that day was tell stories—a long storytelling afternoon. - Matthew 13:34 MSGGet a digital copy of David's book: Visionary Fundraising today CLICK HERESpecial price $4.99You can connect with David at www.davidoaks.net Instagram LinkedIn

Each year as I receive contribution statements from the charities that I supported in the previous year, I am always surprised.As I open them, I am shocked that some are naked. A naked contribution statement is a printed statement of the donor's gifts for the previous year without any kind of thanks or mention of the nonprofit's "big story.”Naked contribution statements point to an overall lack of appreciation for a donor's giving and hinder the size of their next gifts. With a little effort, a short letter along with the donor's giving history for the year that includes the organization's "big story" can make a big difference in future donations.JOIN THE FACEBOOK VISIONARY FUNDRAISING GROUPGet a digital copy of David's book: Visionary Fundraising today CLICK HERESpecial price $4.99You can connect with David at www.davidoaks.net Instagram LinkedIn
As humans and other animals approach reaching a goal, their efforts toward that goal increase.Rats run faster as they approach a food reward, and humans increase effort as they approach rewards or goals such as visual finish lines.Social scientists call this pattern of increased effort as we approach goals a “goal gradient” motivation.This matters to you as a fundraiser because donors are twice as likely to join your fundraising campaign when you reach 66% of your goal.Join the Visionary Fundraising Facebook GroupGet a digital copy of David's book: Visionary Fundraising today CLICK HERESpecial price $4.99You can connect with David at www.davidoaks.net Instagram LinkedIn
As a fundraiser you should understand that a significant number of donors make critical decisions about their charitable contributions often in the final days of the year. These donors with high capacity often opt for late year-end charitable giving. They make their charitable giving decisions on December 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, and 31st.Join the Visionary Fundraising Facebook group for EOY examples of fundraising emails.CLICK HERE TO JOINGet a digital copy of David's book: Visionary Fundraising today CLICK HERESpecial price $4.99You can connect with David at www.davidoaks.net Instagram LinkedIn

The number one tool the visionary uses to stop chasing and start attracting resources is storytelling. Storytelling is the one tool that will catapult your fundraising to wonderful new levels. As visionaries harnessing the ancient power of stories, we give voice to the voiceless. Shining a light on someone's story, we can:• Help address inequitable systems.• Change mainstream narratives.• Give opportunities to understand other people's lived experience.What can go wrong?An old African proverb says it so well:Until the lion learns how to write, the tale will always glorify the hunter.The proverb conveys a powerful message about the importance of perspective and who gets to tell a story or shape a narrative.Watch Arturo's presentation by clicking here.Get a digital copy of David's book: Visionary Fundraising today CLICK HERESpecial price $4.99You can connect with David at www.davidoaks.net Instagram LinkedIn
When visionaries don't understand their role in bringing hope to the world, they hate fundraising.I have heard visionaries lament the need for fundraising. I have heard board members say, "I wish we didn't talk about money so much." I have heard pastors say, "I HATE talking about money."I think the sentiment is misguided. It is healthy when visionaries need money. When forward-thinking organizations need money it is a good thing.Living is expensive. Having a living vision is expensive. It is death that is cheap.Get a digital copy of David's book: Visionary Fundraising today CLICK HERESpecial price $4.99You can connect with David at www.davidoaks.net Instagram LinkedIn
As we approach the year's end, uncertainty rules.When times are good, donors give. When times are bad, donors give.
